Isme urges government to avoid recession by introducing tax measures

ISME chief executive Neil McDonnell says there are warning signs of a recession coming.

A business lobby group has called on the government to introduce a range of taxation measures ahead of this year’s Budget as it believes recession could be around the corner for Ireland.

Isme has urged the government to make the 3% USC surcharge mandatory for all PAYE workers earning over €100,000 per annum. This surcharge is currently only for those who are self-employed.
