Budgetary Oversight Committee to discuss tax relief on trade union subscriptions

20 Márta 2018, 11:39

The Committee on Budgetary Oversight will focus tax relief on trade union subscriptions when it meets with representatives from Fórsa tomorrow, Wednesday, 21 March 2018.

Committee Chairman Colm Brophy said: “Trade union Fórsa is campaigning for the reinstatement of tax relief for trade union subscriptions. Tomorrow we will meet with representatives of Fórsa to discuss its proposals in greater detail. The Committee will be interested in getting up-to-date figures on membership of Fórsa and how many of its members would benefit from the reintroduction of the relief. We will also be keen to discuss the objective of the relief, what Fórsa is looking to achieve by reintroducing the relief, if it has carried out any analysis on the effects of the re-introduction of the relief such costs to the exchequer and where savings could be made elsewhere to pay for the relief if it is re-introduced.”

This meeting will start in Committee Room 2, Leinster House at 3pm on Wednesday, 21 March 2018. Committee proceedings can be viewed live here.

Committee proceedings can also be viewed on the move, through the Houses of the Oireachtas Smartphone App, available for Apple and Android devices.
