Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 13 December 2016
169. Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Finance if he will instruct the Revenue Commissioners to initiate immediately a wide-ranging publicity campaign concerning the enactment of section 54 of the Finance Bill 2016. [39779/16]
View answerAs the Deputy is aware, the provision in question, Section 56 of the Bill as passed by Dáil Éireann, is not yet signed into law. Once the provision is signed into law, I am advised by Revenue that they will be undertaking an appropriate campaign as regards the provision and its implications. In the meantime I am aware that detailed information on the proposed legislative change, as well as a number of Frequently Asked Questions, are provided on the Revenue website (see www.revenue.ie/en/business/disclosure.html). I am also advised that Revenue have also engaged with relevant professional bodies through the Tax Administration Liaison Committee (TALC) to discuss the proposed legislative change and its implementation."
