Amharc ar fhreagraThe Inter-Departmental Group on Property Tax, which is chaired by Dr. Don Thornhill, is considering the structures and modalities for an equitable valuation based property tax and will complete its work and make recommendations to me by end April 2012. Following consideration of the Group's recommendations, I will bring proposals to Government on the full property tax as soon as possible. It will then be a matter for the Government to decide on the structure of the full property tax.
