Dublin: Ireland has unequivocally voiced its opposition to the European Union’s initiatives aimed at securing a larger portion of the corporation tax revenue received by the country, citing the need to address the EU’s escalating financial demands.
Government sources have asserted that any endeavour to relocate Ireland’s corporation tax contributions to the EU’s budget will be met with staunch resistance.
The European Union currently grapples with a substantial financial challenge arising from the repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic, the imperative for future enlargement, and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Consequently, the EU is actively exploring additional avenues of funding, including the implementation of a novel levy for member states.
While Ireland maintains a relatively low corporate tax rate, its overall revenue from this source has witnessed substantial growth due to the presence of numerous multinational corporations within its borders. This phenomenon has prompted discussions within EU leadership circles, asserting that Ireland should assume a more substantial share of the burden to support the EU’s budgetary requirements.
