The European Parliament has today voted in
favour of an EU Commission proposal for an anti-tax avoidance directive. The
proposal aims to close loopholes used by corporate tax avoiders. However all
four Fine Gael MEPs voted against the measures. Speaking prior to the vote the Fine
Gael MEP Brian Hayes said rushing through new measures could result in
unintended outcomes for Ireland.
