Competitiveness fears over tax report

EIGHT in 10 business leaders fear implementation of the Commission for Taxation report would lessen Ireland’s competitiveness, according to a new survey carried out by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC).

The survey follows the Commission’s wide-reaching report into how the Government might effectively rebalance Ireland’s tax framework and better distribute the burden of taxation.

The element of the proposals which has made business people so negative relates to the recommended taxes on labour.
