32 Deputy Michael McGrath asked the Minister for Finance when it will be possible to make submissions to the review of the universal social charge. [7095/11]

Written answers

Minister for Finance (Deputy Michael Noonan)

As I have stated before I would encourage all interested parties to join the review of the USC by way of submission to my Department. My Department is currently accepting submissions from interested parties, however, if changes to the USC are being proposed I would request well thought-out and workable solutions to fill any revenue gaps created. The focus must be on maintaining the €4 billion yield.
