As we have discussed previously, in the recent budget the Minister introduced a tax break for landlords of €600 next year, going up to €1,000. It was an unprecedented step in our tax code and raises fundamental concerns around equity and fairness. Another key issue is the purpose of this tax break, who will benefit and why it is necessary. Can the Minister inform the Dáil of the deadweight loss associated with this tax break for landlords?
