Ibec’s ‘confused’ tax talk hides an agenda

One could be forgiven for being confused by the frequent urgings of Ibec on tax — until the penny drops as to the purpose of their frantic lobbying.

Their latest pre-budget submission implores the Government not to increase taxation — in the interest of the economy, don’t you know.

This is the same Ibec that is urging the Government to double the planned property tax to €800 per annum — no problems here with taxation.
