Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Select Committee (16 Nov 2022)

Pearse Doherty: What is the reach in respect of the Revenue's ability to charge somebody in Spain, France, Boston, Berlin or wherever else?

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Select Committee (16 Nov 2022)

Pearse Doherty: I am coming to an end on this. The Minister will be familiar with the sight, as he walks through the streets of Dublin, of commercial properties with dwellings, or what once were dwellings, above them lying vacant. In some cases they are a scar on the landscape. Some of them are derelict - not painted, windows boarded up, widows smashed and so on. In a scenario in which there is a...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Select Committee (16 Nov 2022)

Pearse Doherty: Finally on this, we know that the date of liability is 1 January 2024. When can we expect the first data from the Minister's Department or from Revenue on the number of individuals who have self-assessed for this?

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Select Committee (16 Nov 2022)

Pearse Doherty: The payment is due on 1 January. When will we have our first piece of data on the number of people who have registered or declared that they are liable for this tax? When are we likely to see some information in that regard?

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Select Committee (16 Nov 2022)

Pearse Doherty: From that point, we can look at reports from Revenue. As for the details that will be made available to the Houses of the Oireachtas, will we get not the just numbers and values on the tax that has been collected, but a geographic breakdown as we have had with other taxes? Will that be by county boundaries, or will it include urban and rural settings, for example, where there is more of an...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Select Committee (16 Nov 2022)

Pearse Doherty: Have resources for Revenue increased to deal with this issue or is it using the existing resources it has been allocated?

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Select Committee (16 Nov 2022)

Pearse Doherty: That is okay. The practice has been that when the Revenue Commissioners requests additional resources for personnel, it has been granted. Am I being assured that this year's ask was also fulfilled in full?

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Select Committee (16 Nov 2022)

Pearse Doherty: Can the Minister provide a note to the committee before Report Stage on that? I am conscious it is not just this tax, which given the fact the Department is only looking for 6,000, it is probably not as resource intense. However, there is work to be done to facilitate the collection of and follow-up on this tax due to the self-declared nature of the tax. In addition, the renters' tax...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Select Committee (16 Nov 2022)

Pearse Doherty: I want to come in on section 85. Given that we are due to take a break at 5 p.m., I suggest we might do so now in advance of the discussion on section 85.

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Select Committee (16 Nov 2022)

Pearse Doherty: Are there amendments to this section?

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Select Committee (16 Nov 2022)

Pearse Doherty: Is that amendment No. 76?

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Select Committee (16 Nov 2022)

Pearse Doherty: I move amendment No. 79: In page 171, between lines 11 and 12, to insert the following: “Report on the Vacant Homes Tax 85.The Minister shall, within six months of the passing of this Act, prepare and lay before Dáil Éireann a report on the vacant homes tax, including an assessment of options to include derelict properties within its scope, to apply a minimum amount of...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Select Committee (16 Nov 2022)

Pearse Doherty: My amendment is to insert a new section 87, but it actually relates to section 86, so I will deal with both together. The amendment relates to the impact on construction of the defective concrete block levy, in particular the impact it would have on construction costs, on the viability and the affordability of housing products and on the cost of remediation for home owners affected by...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Select Committee (16 Nov 2022)

Pearse Doherty: I am okay to pair.

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Select Committee (16 Nov 2022)

Pearse Doherty: That is okay.

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Select Committee (16 Nov 2022)

Pearse Doherty: I do not have a pair either. I was suggesting that we pair, but that is okay.

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Select Committee (16 Nov 2022)

Pearse Doherty: That is fine. Let us adjourn.

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Select Committee (16 Nov 2022)

Pearse Doherty: Exactly. I understand from my colleagues there may be ten minutes left in that Bill so we may get caught again. I wish to finish the point I was making. From my experience and what I have seen, I hope that an accident does not come to pass but I fear it will. People should not be living in some of the homes in which they are living at present. Imagine standing in a kitchen with water...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Select Committee (16 Nov 2022)

Pearse Doherty: The Chairman might let me finish on this point. The Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland stated: Contrary to the need to drive down construction costs, the concrete levy announced in Budget 2023 directly increases building costs. While we understand that Government intends to seek a contribution from relevant stakeholders to the cost of remediating defective homes, in a period of...

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Business of Select Committee (16 Nov 2022)

Pearse Doherty: I move amendment No. 84: "In page 188, between lines 20 and 21, to insert the following: “Report on the impact of the Defective Concrete Products Levy on the cost, viability and affordability of construction and housing projects 87.The Minister shall, within six months of the passing of this Act, prepare and lay before Dáil Éireann a report on the Defective Concrete...
