Preparatory work in relation to the Tax Strategy Group for 2017 is close to completion. A number of topics have been advanced and the agenda will be finalised shortly. It is envisaged however, that the following Papers will be included: Income Tax and USC, General Excises, PRSI, Social Protection Package, Capital Taxes/Exit Tax/DIRT, Corporation Tax, VAT and Climate and Environmental Taxes. Other topics for discussion / review may be included also.
It is my intention that, as last year, publication of the Papers on my Department’s website will take place shortly after the meeting and I would expect this to happen before the end of July.
