The Residential Zoned Land Tax (RZLT) must come into effect in the upcoming budget with a “carve out” for farmers, Roderic O’Gorman has said.

The Green Party leader said he discussed the matter with Finance Minister Jack Chambers over the weekend, describing it as a “good discussion” and he is “confident” the issue will be resolved.
