Financial Resolutions 2014: No. 2: Tobacco Products Tax (15 Oct 2013)

Pearse Doherty: People do not see it in terms of defrauding the State, in the context of lost revenue, or even of breaking the law. It is not looked at in that way. There is a job of work to be done if we want to recoup the €750 million that is lost annually through the black market trade but the only way we can do that is to ring-fence the proceeds from increases in excise duty on cigarettes to...

Financial Resolutions 2014: No. 2: Tobacco Products Tax (15 Oct 2013)

Pearse Doherty: The Revenue Commissioners have told the Department that if there is an additional investment in Revenue's human resources, it can identify €100 million of additional revenue. The net effect of that is something like €93 million. An investment of €6 million will bring in €100 million, according to the Revenue Commissioners. The increase in excise duty is...

Financial Resolutions 2014: No. 3: Income Tax; No. 4: Income Tax (15 Oct 2013)

Pearse Doherty: Seo ceann de na ceisteanna a phlé muid leis an Aire Airgeadais sa coiste Oireachtais i rith na bliana. Cé gur moladh an scéim go huile agus go hiomlán mar scéim úr, sílim go bhfuil sé ceart agus cóir go bhfuil an leasú seo ag teacht os comhair na Dála anocht mar gur féidir leo sin atá ioncam an-ard acu mí-úsáid a...

Financial Resolutions 2014: No. 3: Income Tax; No. 4: Income Tax (15 Oct 2013)

Pearse Doherty: Am I correct in saying that Financial Resolution No. 4 represents a cost to the State of €1 million?

Financial Resolutions 2014: No. 3: Income Tax; No. 4: Income Tax (15 Oct 2013)

Pearse Doherty: Can the Minister explain how the cost to the State applies, how it is calculated and where the extra charge comes from?

Financial Resolutions 2014: No. 3: Income Tax; No. 4: Income Tax (15 Oct 2013)

Pearse Doherty: I return to the figures. Will the Minister correct me if I go wrong? In 2011, 14 people availed of a relief that cumulatively reduced their tax bill by €1 million. These are high income earners. We are getting rid of that and this will cost the State €1 million. I do not understand that.

Financial Resolutions 2014: No. 3: Income Tax; No. 4: Income Tax (15 Oct 2013)

Pearse Doherty: Some of the 14 individuals do no wrong but just use the existing tax code. They would not be able to write down their tax liability to €1 million if they were going to lease their plant to other companies. Therefore they would have to pay the full €1 million in taxes.

Financial Resolutions 2014: No. 3: Income Tax; No. 4: Income Tax (15 Oct 2013)

Pearse Doherty: Let us reverse. Financial Resolution No. 3, on which I spoke earlier, is fine regarding closing that avoidance measure. How did the Government calculate the €1 million cost to the State from Financial Resolution No. 4? That is where the Minister spoke about the 14 investors but those investors were in Financial Resolution No. 3. The Government is opening the potential for another...

Financial Resolutions 2014: No. 3: Income Tax; No. 4: Income Tax (15 Oct 2013)

Pearse Doherty: The Minister did not respond to my question in regard to the €1 million cost to the State. Where did the calculation come from and how many investors are involved? What is the cost based on and how many additional investors are required? Who is lobbying for this change and for this resolution to be moved tonight? This is not something that will have people running to their tax...
