Committee on Budgetary Oversight

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

Ms Anne Gunnell:

We agree we need to broaden the tax base because there are things that have to be paid for. It is interesting. Even though the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council also had its report today on the commission, it will be a matter of Government deciding how we do that and whether some, all, or none of these recommendations are implemented. We agree with the general principle the commission puts forward, that we should broaden the tax base.
