- Finance Bill 2016: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (23 Nov 2016)
Joan Burton: The amendment is extremely reasonable. It is basically a request for information of the kind that will ultimately be published in any event by the Revenue Commissioners. With regard to the requests of a number of Deputies to be allowed to go home early, the Minister for Finance could actually speed things up very considerably by simply clarifying the situation, as he did earlier in the...

Joan Burton: The Minister and I have discussed this matter on a number of occasions. His objection has been on the basis that not every country in the European Union was agreeable to this measure and, in particular, that the United Kingdom was opposed to it. In the context of Brexit and the fact that other countries in the European Union have moved towards the development of a financial transaction tax...

Joan Burton: If the person who owns the ICAV which sells an office block for €80 million is an Irish individual who is not tax resident onshore in Ireland but is tax resident in Malta, what will happen to his or her potential tax liability? It is a case that is in most of the media recently.

Joan Burton: On Committee Stage, I raised a general query on ICAVs in respect of a number of reports in the case of the notorious sale of Clerys department store, where an ICAV was used by one of the key parties to the transaction and subsequently the company structure was divided and one of the entities that employed the workers was liquidated and that had no assets. As such, the workers' entitlements to...

Joan Burton: The Finance Bill has to do with the flow of revenue into the State as a consequence of the legislation that is enacted. I couch my question in the simplest possible terms. As a consequence of the group of amendments, what are the likely gains in tax flows, what are the likely losses in tax flows and what is the net overall position? It is a very simple, totally reasonable question and it...

Joan Burton: I ask the Minister of State to quantify the likely taxation impact - whether a loss to the State or gain to the State or a mixture of both.

Joan Burton: I understand the motives Deputy Boyd Barrett has expressed but I fear the impact of his amendment would be to potentially undo significant amounts of what people have agreed on a cross-party basis, which is a positive achievement. It would also help matters if the Minister of State would read a collection of notes on a number of the points because we are trying to deal with little bits where...

Joan Burton: People's ordinary concept of a charity involves an organisation or society designed to give support or relief of distress or, for instance, to provide services for a hospice, a hospital, schools, for people here in Ireland, refugees or for people in the developing world. We all know what is the ordinary concept of charity. We are not asking the Minister to have an exact answer now. Words...
