There is continued monitoring of tax related issues by my Department. Over the course of each year, a number of reviews of tax expenditures and other tax related matters are carried out by, or on behalf of, the Department of Finance. These may be used to ascertain whether existing tax measures should be amended, continued, extended or ended, or to otherwise review or assess certain taxes (existing and proposed) or groups of taxes. A range of options for possible new or amended tax policy measures are examined as part of the Tax Strategy Group (TSG) process each year. The reviews are normally published on the Department’s website, and may be included in the TSG papers, or with the annual Budget documentation.

Live studies, reviews and research projects in my Department are listed below.
