Finance Bill 2019: Report Stage (19 Nov 2019)

Pearse Doherty: It appears that we will just be getting the information from Revenue Commissioners as to when they are going to implement this. They are saying that they will push ahead with this on 1 January 2020. The substantive issue is the impact it will have on 600,000 workers. What assessment, if any, has the Minister carried out with regard to these changes? I have said many times at the committee...

Finance Bill 2019: Report Stage (19 Nov 2019)

Finance Bill 2019: Report Stage (19 Nov 2019)

Pearse Doherty: I have opposed the special assignee relief programme for years. We were told when it was introduced that it was conditional on 20 new jobs being created for each person who benefits from it. We can see from the returns to the Revenue from the companies in question that the number of jobs created is nowhere near that figure. There is not a chance that the relief provides that type of...

Finance Bill 2019: Report Stage (19 Nov 2019)

Pearse Doherty: I welcome this amendment and we will see how those pay discussions work out. In this Finance Bill, we are dealing with something available to many other public servants and, indeed, private sector employees. It is appropriate that this tax credit be made available to personnel in the Naval Service. It does raise a wider issue in that these personnel need to be seen as workers and their...
