Committee on Budgetary Oversight

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

Ms Anne Gunnell:

We have not done any analysis on a windfall tax so I could not honestly say. Again, I would caution by saying that irrespective of the tax, if you are imposing it at a higher rate, you look at what the unintended impact might be and whether it will discourage or encourage. We do not know what the behavioural impact would be.
