Vol. 542 No. 2

Written Answers. - Tax Code.

Trevor Sargent

Question:

281 Mr. Sargent asked the Minister for Finance if he is committed to the introduction of a carbon energy tax in budget 2002; if this tax is to be revenue neutral, the corresponding reduction in another area of taxation which is to take place; and if this carbon tax will be ring fenced. [24363/01]

As the Deputy is no doubt aware, it is not customary for the Minister for Finance to indicate in advance what measures, if any, will be taken in the budget. It is not my intention to break with this tradition.
