Ahern told company van tax ‘ludicrous’

THE outgoing chairman of the Small Firms’ Association, Kieran Crowley, called on Taoiseach Bertie Ahern yesterday to halt the proposed benefit-in-kind tax on company vans.

It was a "ludicrous idea", Mr Crowley told the Taoiseach, who was guest of honour at the SFA's annual lunch.

Mr Crowley was applauded by the 1,300 who turned up for one of the best attended business functions in Dublin this year.
