Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 4 October 2018
73. Deputy John Brassil asked the Minister for Finance his plans to reduce the life assurance exit tax from the higher rate of 41% in line with reductions in deposit interest retention tax for budget 2019; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [40484/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraI assume that the Deputy is referring to exit tax as applied to Life Assurance products. In general, consideration of any changes to the tax system are undertaken within the annual Budgetary and Finance Bill process. As is normal, the Deputy will appreciate that I cannot comment on any possible changes in advance of the 2019 Budget.
