Budget 2017 introduced a measure to reduce the rate of Deposit Interest Retention Tax (DIRT) over a 4 year period to reach 33 per cent by 2020. Accordingly, as part of the phased introduction of this policy, the planned reduction in the DIRT rate by 2 per cent in 2019 is estimated to represent a negative discretionary revenue measure of €6.4 million next year. A further reduction of 2 per cent is planned in 2020, and is estimated to also cost an additional €6.4 million.
