The Tax Strategy Group is an interdepartmental committee chaired by the Department of Finance. Its membership comprises senior officials and advisors from a number of Departments, including Finance, Taoiseach, Jobs, Enterprise & Innovation and Social Protection and also from the Office of the Revenue Commissioners and the Office of the Attorney General. Papers on various options for the Budget and for the medium and longer term are prepared for the Group.

The papers prepared for Budget 2015 are also being used to assist in the development of the Finance Bill so they cannot be published just yet. However  I would expect officials in my Department to be in a position to commence the publication process once the Finance Bill has been enacted in December.
