3 International Taxation: Perception Vs Reality Perception? MNCs are evil Tax competition is bad The digital economy is different [insert name of any country here] is a tax haven Reality? MNCs tend to be tax compliant Fair tax competition is good (to be discussed) Entire economy is becoming digitalized (so no special rules) International co-operation has never been stronger
4 Is Tax Competition Bad? Fair v. Unfair tax competition At core of economic policy Levels the playing field Not about a race to the bottom But substance must follow form.

10 OECD Base Erosion & Profit Shifting Project The OECD has consistently supported tax competition and the BEPS project is not going to change this fundamental principle. However, the BEPS actions, once they are implemented globally will make a significant contribution to the fight against harmful tax competition.
11 What is the OECD targeting with BEPS? According to the OECD Base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS) refers to tax planning strategies that exploit gaps and mismatches in tax rules to make profits disappear for tax purposes or to shift profits to locations where there is little or no real activity but the taxes are low resulting in little or no overall corporate tax being paid.
12 Potential Impact on Ireland of BEPS Project? Ireland is actively engaged in the OECD BEPS process and will part of the solution rather than the problem. The alternative is unilateral action proven to be difficult in practice. Potential opportunities? aligning taxing rights with real substance has been a corner stone of the Irish corporation tax policy since the early 1950s. No doubt there will be challenges and changes which will come down the line, but all countries will face these challenges.
13 Department of Finance BEPS consultation (now underway) Public consultation important to engage with tax payers Effective tool to enhance public awareness and increase stakeholder involvement. 6 Questions: Which actions should be considered the highest priorities for Ireland? Are there other int l tax proposals that would be of concern to Ireland? Best way for Ireland to ensure tax provisions are competitive? Are our current residence rules appropriate? What are the critical considerations for Ireland? Any other priority areas or future challenges?
