07/2020 content update

Would be great to have a paragraph of some of the most peritent updates within the last 12 months. The most recent citation within the article is Feburary 2019. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2407:7000:986C:1300:C579:5CCD:18C9:15C7 (talk) 01:49, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Consistent false information

This article - written by Britishfinance - contains consistently false, exaggerated, and distorted information that is used in a political manner to attack Ireland and its corporate tax policy. Whether Ireland's corporate tax regime is right or wrong is certainly up for debate; however, it is vitally important to keep to the facts, and that is something that this article fails to do. It must also be noted that Britishfinance has made numerous personal attacks against IDA Ireland CEO Mark Shanahan.

I recommend at the very least reading this article with severe reservations. This is an article which simply does not meet Wikipedia's standards of objectivity, accuracy and integrity. Duke Of Dirty Dancing (talk) 20:38, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Copied and pasted text

See Special:Diff/1282099822. The text I added the block quote around (I didn't add the original text) was copied from:

Avi-Yonah, Reuven S. (2021), "The New International Tax Regime", Law & Economics Working Papers, 215, University of Michigan Law School Scholarship Repository, retrieved 24 March 2025

Specifically, pages 5 to 7. Everything under the "Overall design", "Scope", and "Minimum rate" headers in that journal article was copied and pasted verbatim. The original text before my edit even included the Unicode bullet characters as seen in the linked PDF. For now, I've cited it, but, from the awkward tone in other places in this article, I wouldn't be surprised if other text was plagiarized.

As for what to do from here, I genuinely don’t know, and I’m, frankly, not interested enough in the topic of this article to actually scour this article for and fix other plagiarism instances. This was just the one I noticed while trying to fix the two awkwardly placed/worded section links (to understand what their containing sentences were trying to convey so I could reword them). The Unicode bullets are what tipped me off. EmptySora_ (talk) 10:17, 24 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Out of Date Information

This article includes outdated statements, such as that the "Single Malt" arrangement has not been addressed by the international community. Kattam73 (talk) 12:53, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
