KPMG calls for establishment of 'Office for Tax Simplification' in Ireland 

Professional services firm said tax difficulties were adding to the cost of doing business and undermining Irish competitiveness

Tom Woods, Head of Tax at KPMG in Ireland.

KPMG has called for the Government to establish an Office for Tax Simplification to address the "excessive complexity" of the Irish tax system in recent years. 

In its Pre Budget 2025 submission, the professional services firm said tax difficulties were adding to the cost of doing business and undermining competitiveness, particularly now than Ireland's 12.5% corporation tax is less of an advantage.
