Round Up: Finance Bill published
The Government's Finance Bill has been
published by Brian Lenihan which brings into effect the taxation measures
announced in last December's Budget. The Bill puts emphasis on attracting
foreign investment, with measures including the scrapping of numerous tax
reliefs and a provision for attracting Islamic investment into the country.
The Bill introduces the carbon tax and maintains the reduction in the rate of VAT, measures that were outlined in Lenihan's December Budget.
