Tax Reliefs

Simon Harris (FG), Wicklow

I will, because without pre-empting any future budgets, the last time we did this in budget 2025 we decided to move each of the bands and that was appropriate. We need to look at this in the round. There are always competing demands on what you can do in relation to a tax package each year but we have only delivered one budget out of five. We have four more and if we continue to keep the economy in good stead, continue to run budget surpluses and continue to be able to set money aside in future funds I believe in the medium-term fiscal framework the Minister, Deputy Chambers, and I will bring to Government soon we will be able to see a regular-sized rhythm of tax packages in future and all these issues can be considered in the context of that. With some of the specific policy elements Deputy Brennan has referenced, it would be useful to have the tax strategy group look at this in advance of future budgets. I will continue to link with him on it.
