Micheál Martin

Question:

62 Deputy Micheál Martin asked the Minister for Finance if he expects any requests to change Ireland’s rate of corporation tax in the context of discussions on a fiscal union; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30550/12]

Written answers

Minister for Finance (Deputy Michael Noonan)

The Government's position on Ireland's corporation tax rate is very clear and well known to our EU colleagues.

In the context of the discussions on fiscal union, I would like to inform the Deputy that the current proposals on tax simply reflect existing arrangements and do not bring anything new, including corporation tax, to the table.
