Ireland’s Finance Minister Supports Global Digital Tax Deal

Ireland’s finance minister—who also serves as deputy prime minister—has voiced strong backing for a worldwide agreement that would set clear rules on taxing digital businesses. He added that the country will support the effort only if it can be widely accepted and carried out efficiently.

  • Continued Engagement
    The minister highlighted plans to keep engaging with key groups such as the EU, OECD and G20. He said talks about a digital‑economy tax framework will pick up again in the next few months.

  • Avoiding a Patchwork
    He warned that handling this issue through global talks is preferable to a patchwork of separate national measures. “Uncoordinated unilateral actions could spark disputes,” he noted.

  • Preventing Chaos
    Ireland wants to prevent a chaotic situation where each country acts on its own, leading to conflicts. The minister’s stance signals the nation’s commitment to finding a fair and coordinated solution for taxing online businesses worldwide.
