What would be the total cost of the Irish Tax Institute's proposals in respect of capital gains tax and general taxation? Does the institute foresee tax increases in any areas? For instance, what is it views on the introduction of a sugar tax? What is its position on the 9% VAT rate for the hospitality sector? Its members were present for the debate on the issue.

On a more general issue, what are members of the Irish Tax Institute saying about their clients' preparedness for Brexit? The witnesses made a number of interesting proposals related to Brexit. How prepared for Brexit are the companies served by the institute's members? Which presents the greater threat - Brexit or the changes to corporation tax discussed recently by President Juncker?
