Minister for Finance

I am advised by Revenue that it is not possible to provide an estimated cost of increasing the age limit to qualify for the Stamp Duty exemption on the transfer of farm land. This is because from the tax return and other data available to Revenue, it is not possible to identify the numbers of cases that could be affected or predict changes to their tax liability.
