Donohoe expects updated OECD global tax text in coming days

Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe said agreement on the issue will be sought among all negotiating countries at an OECD meeting on October 8.

Ireland expects to receive an updated text of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's (OECD) proposed overhaul of global corporate tax rules in the coming days in a "critical moment" for negotiations, Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe has said. 

The Government has so far declined to sign up to an OECD agreement struck by over 130 of 139 negotiating countries.
