Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform
Financial Transaction Tax: Discussion with Department of Finance
3:35 pm
Ms Brenda McVeigh:
I understand the point Deputy O'Donnell is making but we can only speak about what the directive states. The directive states that it will be imposed in respect of the transaction and therefore it will be imposed on the institutions. We could all make an assumption about where the charge will eventually end up and that is part of our concern. However, the directive does not state that it will be imposed on individuals.
