Corporation Tax (Northern Ireland) Act 2015
Summary
This Act allows Northern Ireland to set its own lower corporation tax rate (a tax businesses pay on profits) instead of matching the rest of the UK. The aim is to make Northern Ireland more attractive to companies and boost economic growth in the region.

A vote to oppose means
- —Critics worry that lower corporation tax means less money for public services like schools and hospitals. Some also concern it might be unfair compared to other UK regions, or that businesses relocate just for tax reasons without creating genuine economic benefits.
