View answer91 Mr. Cuffe asked the Minister for Finance if his Department is reviewing tax residency rules as part of the review of tax reliefs; the alternative arrangements which have been considered by his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [18336/05]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 81 and 91 together.
The rules on residency are not a tax relief scheme as such and are therefore not included in the review of tax relief schemes that I announced in the 2005 budget. However, as already outlined to the House, I have asked the chairman of the Revenue Commissioners to monitor the application of the current non-resident rules, through examination of cases handled in the Revenue large cases division and to provide me with a report once this examination is complete.
