IDA Ireland - Budget Statement

1700hrs - 15/10/13

IDA IRELAND welcomes today’s comments from the Minister for Finance in which he said that we “will continue to examine ways in which Ireland can ensure that our corporate tax regime remains competitive”.

Ireland’s tax offering continues to be highly attractive to overseas companies and we believe that the changes to the residency rules will not impact on our overall competitive position.

IDA Ireland’s main aim is to ensure that Ireland’s offering, be it through talent, infrastructure or taxation, is continuously enhanced and remains competitive internationally.

For IDA Ireland, the stability of the 12.5% corporate tax rate is a vital part of Ireland’s offering to our foreign investors.
