Ireland
While youth unemployment has soared as huge swathes of the hospitality, tourism, retail and travel sectors have effectively shut down as a result of the pandemic, Ireland’s overall tax take has held up well thanks to one of the most progressive tax systems in the world. “It’s a classic K-shaped economy, where there’s a clear divergence between the real economy and the stock exchange,” says Liam Lynch, tax partner at KPMG in Dublin.
Nonetheless, the Irish government forecasts a 16.4% decline in total taxation revenue to €49.6bn in 2021, and a total government deficit of €20.5bn.

Business leaders, participants and others engaged in the fintech community will continue to digest these recommendations over the coming weeks. The key question for many will be how quickly the UK government moves to implement the Review’s recommendations, and to what extent.
