Tax Code
Dail Éireann — 2021-03-31
============================================================

Pearse Doherty (SF), Donegal

I appreciate this. The question is about whether the Minister will extend the exemption on green diesel from the increase in carbon tax introduced in budget 2021. There is an extension whereby it will not come into effect until 1 May of this year, as a result of the dual issues of Brexit and the pandemic. These issues have not been resolved but there are also serious issues in terms of the fairness of the tax. We want to hear the views of the Minister on it.
