Committee on Budgetary Oversight
Scrutiny of Tax Expenditures (Resumed)
Mr. Seamus Coffey:
An outperformance of corporation tax could mask these spending increases. If corporation taxes perform strongly in the early part of the year, there could be strong receipts in November which would cover the overruns in spending. Spending on health should be done on a consistent, sustainable and ongoing basis. It should not be dependent on unreliable and possibly temporary corporation tax receipts.
