The Irish Business and Employers Federation (IBEC) and the Irish Bankers Federation (IBF) have joined the campaign against the Common Consolidated Corporate Tax Base.

We understand that senior officers from IBEC and the IBF recently met with EU Tax Commissioner Kovacs to reinforce Irish opposition to the CCCTB proposals.

ICAI has long been highlighting the negative effects that CCCTB will have for Irish companies and foreign companies operating in Ireland, and for the Irish economy generally. It is worthwhile for all business organisations in Ireland to get involved in the debate.

A copy of an article in the Sunday Business Post of 15 April 2007 on CCCTB written by Brian Keegan, Director of Taxation at the ICAI is reproduced at Section 2.01.
