I move amendment No. 175:

In page 142, between lines 1`9 and 20, to insert the following:

"Report on options available for introduction of a wealth tax60. The Minister shall, within six months from the passing of this Act, prepare and lay before Dáil Éireann a report on options available for the introduction of a comprehensive asset tax otherwise known as a wealth tax. The report shall include options for the collation of data necessary for the assessment of such a tax, definitions of categories of wealth to be included in such a tax, proposals for the assessment and collection of the proposed tax and estimates of potential revenue raised at various rates of taxation.”.

I will withdraw this amendment. I may table it at Report Stage.
