Very strongly agree

Strongly agree

Keep current rates but eliminate deductions and loop holes

Fine Gael has expressed interest in reforming the corporate tax system to make it more transparent and fair. For example, they have supported the OECD's Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) project, which aims to eliminate tax avoidance strategies used by multinational corporations. This suggests that they might be in favor of keeping current rates but eliminating deductions and loopholes.

Agree

Lower

Fine Gael has a history of supporting lower corporate tax rates, as evidenced by their defense of Ireland's 12.5% corporate tax rate. However, they may not actively push for further reductions, given the current economic climate and potential backlash from other EU countries.

Agree

Lower, but eliminate deductions and loop holes

Fine Gael might support lowering corporate tax rates while eliminating deductions and loopholes, as they have shown interest in reforming the corporate tax system to make it more transparent and fair. However, their primary focus has been on defending the current 12.5% rate, so this option might not be their top priority.

Agree

Increase for large multinational corporations but lower for small businesses

Fine Gael might be open to the idea of differentiating tax rates for large multinational corporations and small businesses, as they have shown support for small businesses in the past. However, they have not explicitly advocated for this approach in relation to corporate tax rates.

Remove taxes on corporations and tax shareholder dividends instead
