Delegate: Ireland not a target of US tax haven crackdown

THE leader of a visiting American congressional delegation Richie Neal has said Ireland’s corporate tax rate is not the target of Washington’s crackdown on tax-dodging.

He said there were key differences between low-tax countries such as Ireland and recognised tax havens.

“Ireland is not Bermuda, not the Cayman Islands, it is not Luxembourg nor it is Switzerland,” he said.
