Tax Data
283. Deputy Michael Lowry asked the Minister for Finance given the ongoing concerns about discrimination in inheritance tax policy, particularly affecting single and childless citizens, the reason these individuals are subject to less favourable tax-free thresholds compared to other groups; if he will commit to a complete reform of the inheritance tax system, rather than merely tweaking the Group A, B, and C thresholds; if he will reconsider the terminology used for Group C recipients, who are often loved ones and lifelong friends, and ensure that the tax policy reflects their importance in people's lives; and, given the impact on one million single and childless citizens, the measures the Minister will take to ensure that the inheritance tax policy is fair and non-discriminatory; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
