Committee on Budgetary Oversight

Report of the Commission on Taxation and Welfare: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Tim Cullinan:

I think an exemption is what we would seek because farmers continue to farm on those lands. In many instances farmers would not be even aware that this land has been zoned and it is used for agricultural purposes and for food production. An exemption, therefore, would be very beneficial to farmers. That is what we need to look at. We would accept that if there were an exemption for farmers from land that is zoned. Those lands are adjacent to small towns and villages, and in those areas farmers continue to farm. That is important.
