Vol. 573 No. 5

Written Answers. - Tax Code.

Denis Naughten

Ceist:

29 Mr. Naughten asked the Minister for Finance his views on the case for indexation of tax bands and thresholds to protect taxpayers from the impact of inflation. [25825/03]

Indexation of bands and thresholds is one policy option. It has not been pursued by any Government on an automatic basis as decisions on tax have to be made each year in the context of the overall budgetary situation and that is my position on the matter.
