Committee on Budgetary Oversight
Report of the Commission on Taxation and Welfare: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Brian Brennan:
Yes. Part of that is also geared at the long-term economic impact for the country if we increase taxes. Does it have the intended impact of actually increasing Exchequer receipts or do we find it has a negative economic impact going forward? We are saying that, in consideration of the recommendations from the commission, we should also look at the longer term economic impact for the country.
