Life impacted by taxation policies

Our tax system has had a profound impact on the Irish landscape, and not simply in a metaphorical context.

In particular, specific tax exemptions and reliefs introduced over the last 30 years has supported and induced significant development and redevelopments.

As discussed here in previous articles, Dublin’s Templebar area was one of the first major inner city regeneration initiatives, meanwhile the overextended relief given in the Shannon Corridor region resulted in an oversupply. The power of tax policy should not be underestimated.
