Consultation paper draws big response

There has been a huge response to the agri-taxation consultation which was launched as a joint operation between the Departments of Finance and of Agriculture.

The consultation document sought views on current agri-taxation reliefs, exemptions and policy initiatives, and on what changes should be made.

Along with submissions from farm representative bodies, the consultation also attracted many submissions from less obvious places such as agricultural processors, the Institute of Professional Auctioneers and Valuers, and the Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland.
