While the Minister is correct that the purpose of tax is to pay for the public services delivered in the country, it is also to construct healthy markets and redistribute some level of wealth. My question remains. Has the Department of Finance undertaken any study on the effective rates applied to dividends from REITs for those domiciled in Ireland and abroad? If there is a difference, will the Minister seek a change in the legislation?
