New from @PaulHannon29 and me: Ireland is joining the global tax deal, in advance of an international meeting Friday. https://t.co/5m85FSjYdX

— Richard Rubin (@RichardRubinDC) October 7, 2021

Ireland, a low-tax country that is the European headquarters to some of the largest U.S. technology companies, said it would join a global agreement to set a minimum rate of 15% for taxing corporate profits https://t.co/hXMu7bObAO

This big deal is a big deal. A major crackdown on tax avoidance, with havens like Ireland signing on 1/ https://t.co/zZincOkQEE

Apple must be scouting some pretty sketchy places to stash profits next. The OECD plans to impose a 15% minimum tax rate in more than 130 countries-- ending Ireland's 1-2% effective tax rate for some companies https://t.co/kgtunlhe58

Yes - this is a huge win. Governance can work for the public good. H/t everyone on Team Biden who led on this. Now let’s make it law, for our economy and for our democracy. https://t.co/znz2pwfQEH

12.5% or higher, and I hope this was happening anyway, our economy should have been developed for shocks.

Apple leaving Ireland would be horrendous. We should do more to keep them here (world class education and housing for workers), but also develop medium indigenous business.

The new tax rate will affect 1,556 companies in Ireland employing 500,000 people, among them US tech giants such as Apple, Google, Amazon and Facebook. Ireland now joins 140 countries in agreeing to the effective levy of 15% on major multinationals.

We welcome Ireland’s support for the OECD’s landmark global agreement.  We look forward to working with Ireland and the other global partners in implementing this unprecedented international deal.https://t.co/JRMkOB6cGj

"Ireland, a low-tax country that is European headquarters to some of the largest US technology companies, said it would join a global agreement to set a minimum rate of 15% for taxing corporate profits." Very big deal. How will Puerto Rico maintain 4% rate on CFCs? #muniland https://t.co/4SkmdXelzB

Very significant achievement by @Paschald on behalf of #Ireland - it’s a good result & the right decision. Most importantly it provides as much certainty as possible for the future. As a small country #Ireland continues to shape & influence global decisions that matter! @dfatirl https://t.co/NFQCeb5gIN

Ireland's FDI strategy has been misbalanced for decades.

I'm hoping harmonisation of the corporate tax regime in the EU will finally trigger some focus and support for our indigenous tech companies. pic.twitter.com/CdYy3cd0vc

The Government has accepted my recommendation for Ireland to join the agreement at the @OECD on a new framework for taxing multinational companies.

The deal now provides certainty and strikes the right balance between our tax competitiveness and our broader place in the world https://t.co/gnsHcXg6XO

Significant move from Ireland, to bring corporation tax into line with G7 and G20 - probably helps that UK c-tax will be so much higher soon... https://t.co/haWJZ1NeoK

I hate to think that we were brow-beaten into changing our corporation tax rate.

I hate to think that this was pressure from other countries acting in their own interest.

It was a deal with the devil but it was our deal, and well-served us, this little rock out in the Atlantic.

— Woofer (@WooferAnon) October 7, 2021

Huge and great news! The OECD concluded an agreement on a 15% global minimum tax. I‘m surprised and impressed by how quickly this came together, a big step forward for more efficient and effective tax systems around the world. Now need to pass it here!https://t.co/PImySgxK38

“… #Ireland, a main holdout to the deal, said it was ready to accept a 15% minimum #tax rate after Prime Minister Michael Martin [said] the rate would only apply to multinational giants like @Facebook & @Apple, but not to Irish companies operating in Ireland.”? #OECD #G20 https://t.co/RniLbBsAHt

It's about to get a lot harder for corporations to dodge taxes...
“The landmark deal, agreed by 136 countries...representing more than 90% of global GDP," puts a minimum 15% tax rate on the world's large businesses & corporations.https://t.co/26XYcXjcTx

Today, U.S. multinationals report 60% of profits abroad in just 7 low tax jurisdictions.

This OECD deal will level the playing field, bring jobs and investment back in the U.S. and improve competitiveness for U.S. businesses. https://t.co/WkrN0CKTFy
