While the Department of Finance’s Public Consultation Questionnaire on Ireland’s international financial services strategy does not explicitly solicit tax suggestions, we took the opportunity to ask this month's Roundtable panel to do so (see responses to the first question below). The panel also examines what the US agreement on exempting BEPS global minimum tax rules could mean for Ireland and the broader BEPS project. Also examined this month are: proposals for improvements to Ireland’s securitisation regime; a range of tax neutral or tax positive reforms that could be included in Budget 2026, two notable Tax Judgements from the TAC; a comment on proposed CAT reforms in the 2025 TSG papers; and how a new VAT scheme for SMEs with annual vatable turnover of <€100,000 will work.
