SF’s corporation tax policy a threat to economy
Sinn Féin’s pledge to increase corporation tax would remove a vital incentive to attract multinational companies.
The reductions in corporation tax to the current low rate of 12.5%, implemented by Fianna Fáil in government, have helped significantly to create record levels of employment. This far-sighted policy has also yielded over e5 billion in revenue, up from €2 billion when the rate was 36% in 1997.
