Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 1 December 2010
100 Deputy Paul Kehoe asked the Minister for Finance his plans to introduce reliefs from capital gains tax for persons who must sell their lands through compulsory purchase as they are not selling the land by choice; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [45509/10]
View answerAs the Deputy is aware, the National Recovery Plan 2011-2014 was published last Wednesday. This plan sets out key reform measures required to return our economy to growth, including the abolition or curtailment of a number of tax expenditures. These measures are vital for the recovery of our economy. It is not the usual practice to comment on any possible changes in taxation prior to the annual Budget. I have, however, no plans to introduce reliefs as suggested.
