Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

Action Plan for Job Creation and Innovation: Startup Ireland

3:00 pm

Mr. Sean Blanchfield:

With regard to capital gains tax, the budget introduced new measures but, after putting my head together with other angel investors and entrepreneurs, we could not figure out how to take advantage of the reductions, which were concerned with how investors might offset with regard to future investments having made a windfall. We still feel it is 33% tax on capital gains for us.
