Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 13 July 2022
157. Deputy Ged Nash asked the Minister for Finance further to Parliamentary Question No. 260 of 17 May 2022, if he will specify the proposed levy percentage on the construction industry which is intended to raise in the region of €80 million a year; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [38662/22]
View answerAs set out in my reply to a PQ asked by the Deputy on 17 May this year, one which he references in this PQ, work on this determining all aspects of the proposed new levy, including, but not confined to, the rate at which it will apply, is an ongoing process. My officials, with the assistance of colleagues in other Departments and agencies, as well as from Revenue, are continuing to work on a range of options in regards to such a levy. Therefore, given the need for this policy development work to progress in a confidential manner, I cannot provide an indication of the progress or direction on this matter at this time.
