Wpływ kryzysu finansowego na politykę podatkową Republiki Irlandii
The Influence of the Financial Crisis on Tax Policy in the Republic of Ireland

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to present and evaluate the changes introduced by the Irish government in the tax system and their influence on tax revenues. The first part offers a brief summary of the overall structure of the state tax system, identifying elements of tax construction and the changes caused by the financial crisis. The second part focuses on the major changes in personal income tax and capital taxes, which entailed raising the tax rate, the reduction and abolition of tax relief and the introduction of new taxes, such as a levy on financial institutions and the domicile levy. The other taxes have hardly been modified but their share of, and influence on, tax revenue is less significant.
