Flat-rate expenses decision deferred for year

A decision on whether to reform the so-called flat-rate expenses regime for a wide range of workers, including bus drivers, bricklayers, cooks, and nurses, has been deferred by Revenue.

The review was started 18 months ago and has created something of a political storm, giving rise to Dáil questions and back-and-forth correspondence between Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe and Revenue chairman Niall Cody.
