Tax Expenditures in Budget 2024: Department of Finance

Ms Clare Costello:

I absolutely agree. As I said, we have tax expenditure guidelines that set out for us how to evaluate tax expenditures. To be honest, we are probably a little premature to even be thinking about it. At this stage, we are just in the process of the measure being introduced. However, an integral part of it is looking at the counterfactual and trying to assess the impact of the relief.
