View answerI assume that the Deputy is referring to exit tax as applied to Life Assurance products. In general, consideration of any changes to the tax system are undertaken within the annual Budgetary and Finance Bill process. As is normal, the Deputy will appreciate that I cannot comment on any possible changes in advance of the 2019 Budget.
