Tax expenditure series at TCD

Dublin: A seminar to launch the publication of Ireland’s Tax Expenditure System: International Comparisons and a Reform Agenda by Dr Micheál L Collins of Trinity’s Department of Economics in conjunction with accountant Mary Walsh will take place next Tuesday in Áras an Phiarsaigh, TCD.

The study, which will be launched by Frank Daly, chairman of the National Asset Management Agency (NAMA) is the 24th in the series Studies in Public Policy published by Trinity’s Policy Institute.

The study examines the current tax expenditure regime in Ireland and highlights the role that tax expenditures should play in the budgetary adjustment planned for late 2010 and in subsequent years.
