Kieran Coughlan: Tax strategy group’s ideas for pre-budget discussion

Ireland’s tax strategy group is tasked with reviewing our taxation system and presenting options to the Government for policy initiatives to support government objectives.

The group has been in existence for over 20 years, and up to now, its publications were issued to the Department of Finance, and published after the annual budget was formed and delivered.

This year, the group’s reports have been published in advance of formation of the budget, as a move “to facilitate informed discussion”.
