ICAI Publishes Pre-Finance Bill Submission,
by Carla Johnson, Investors Offshore.com, London
Friday, January 18, 2008
The Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland (ICAI) has focussed on proposals
to enhance Ireland’s reputation as a good place to invest in its pre-Finance
Bill submission to the Minister for Finance, Brian Cowen.
“Some of the indicators for our economy may be less positive at present
than in recent years.We hope that this should not deflect the Minister from
considering innovations in our tax system which will promote investment and
further growth, as tax has a pivotal role in influencing business behaviour”
stated ICAI Director of Taxation, Brian Keegan.
“Ireland competes for inward investment on two levels – attracting
new investment certainly, but also in retaining the business we already have.
Our focus is on improving the business tax environment, not by seeking tax cuts,
but by streamlining and simplifying existing arrangements to bring us into line
with best international practice,” Keegan added.
Specific ICAI proposals include:
Simplifying the tax rules which govern payments by foreign companies into
Ireland, which will assist the expansion of indigenous industry as well as
consolidating multinational presence in Ireland;
Improving the tax status of income derived from patents, and treating the
purchase of patents and know-how on the same footing as the purchase of any
other business asset – measures of critical importance in developing
the knowledge economy; and
Assisting Irish owner managed business by permitting investment in factories
and equipment to reduce tax surcharges.
The submission to the Minister has been made as part of CCAB-I, the umbrella
body for the main accounting bodies.
With a combined membership of over 20,000 accountants directly involved in
all aspects of tax law, CCAB-I is in a unique position to bring informed comment
and proposals to the Minister.
