I propose to take Questions Nos. 205, 207 to 209, inclusive, and 211 together.

The Programme for Government ‘Our Shared Future’ contains a number of commitments relating to taxation, including in relation to the tax credit referred to by the Deputy.

The intention is to deliver these commitments within the duration of the life of the Government, noting the need to provide a stable and sustainable enterprise environment alongside sound management of the public finances.

Decisions on how these commitments are met, including the timing, will be made in due course.
