The Taoiseach said the 12.5% rate has been a 'key part of our tax policy' for years, and as of yet, Ireland has not agreed to the OECD conclusions that have been arrived at so far

However, he added that Ireland is engaging in the OECD process in a “constructive way” and there is a “bit of travel to go” in terms of any agreements. He said Ireland is seeking further assurances on the predictability and certainty of the agreement, ahead of a mid-October deadline to finalise the deal.

“We are engaged in a process, that’s where it stands,” he said. The Taoiseach said companies that he has spoken to are very “understandable” about the process. “But equally, we are working very hard to see if an agreement is possible that would allow Ireland to join.”
