Amharc ar fhreagraThe Commission on Taxation and Welfare was established in June 2021. It has been asked to independently consider how best the taxation and welfare systems can support economic activity and promote increased employment and prosperity in a resilient, inclusive and sustainable way, while ensuring that there are sufficient resources available to meet the costs of the public services and supports in the medium and longer term.
A public consultation entitled “Your Vision, Our Future” was launched by the Commission in October 2021 and a number of stakeholder events were undertaken earlier this year including an open public meeting entitled, “Our Future Tax and Welfare”, and stakeholder forum on March 3rd and 4th.
The Commission is currently finalising its work and is due to submit its report to the Minister for Finance by July 2022.
