On Friday, the Department of Finance held the fourth meeting of the Business Tax Stakeholder Forum at the Department of Finance on Merrion Road. The Institute was in attendance under the auspices of the CCAB-I. The meeting was chaired by Sinead Ryan, Assistant Secretary with responsibility for business and international tax policy.
Among the matters discussed were recent developments in domestic tax (including the recent publication of Finance Bill 2024) and international tax (including recent work in implementing Pillar Two and finalising work on Pillar One).
Of particular interest to readers will be the Department’s request for a list of priority areas within domestic legislation where legislation could be updated with the dual aims of enhancement and simplification. The Institute will be discussing the matter with our Tax Committee with a view to providing a list of issues ahead of the Christmas break.
