The Department of Finance has published the minutes of the recent Business Tax Stakeholder Forum. The Forum is limited in scope to discussing direct business taxation. It is consultative in nature with the focus on knowledge and information sharing, including reflecting on tax developments at the EU and international level as well as domestic corporation tax legislation.
As previously reported, the Institute, under the auspices of the CCAB-I, was represented at the inaugural meeting of the Business Tax Stakeholder Forum. The meeting provided an opportunity for the Institute to engage with the Department of Finance in a constructive and meaningful way. While the forum is not a decision-making body, it is intended to complement the wider engagement process between the Department and its business tax stakeholders.
