Committee on Budgetary Oversight
Indexation of Taxation and Social Protection System: Discussion
Dr. Tom McDonnell:
To follow on from Dr. Healy's point, it is becoming increasingly easy to link up the revenue system with the welfare system. Tax administration has come on leaps and bounds in recent years. Digitisation and digitalisation are making it much easier to link the two. I can very easily envisage a situation in a few years' time where the two systems would be completely linked.
