Ireland in new OECD spotlight as Apple to hear on €13bn back-tax appeal next week

A new OECD report has again put Ireland’s tax regime under the spotlight highlighting the large amounts in corporation tax US multinationals pay the Irish exchequer.

The figures from the Paris-based Organisation for Cooperation and Development detail figures for the first time on a country-by-country basis and show that in 2016 Ireland collected $5.5bn (€4.8bn) from all types of large multinationals, of which $4.3bn was accounted for by US multinationals.
