Question:148 Mr. Connaughton asked the Minister for Finance if the same taxation credit, as is proposed for milk quota, will also be given to the suckler cow quota; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5533/00]
Written Answers. - Milk Quota.
The proposed taxation changes concerning milk quota arose from the milk quota restructuring scheme which was announced by the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Rural Development in October 1999. I have been informed by that Minister that there are no plans for a similar restructuring of the suckler cow quota scheme. I do not, therefore, have any proposals to amend the tax treatment of the suckler cow quota scheme.
