Public bill · Government · Presented

Finance Bill 2005 updates Ireland’s tax system for 2005 and later years, including higher income-tax bands and credits, increased rent relief, pension and farming incentives, and reduced stamp duty for some first-time buyers and company transactions. It also changes VAT and environmental taxes, extends tax relief for small breweries and hybrid vehicles, modernises tobacco and alcohol rules, and strengthens Revenue powers to tackle tax evasion and illicit production. The measures affect individuals, businesses, farmers, investors and consumers, while bringing Irish tax rules into line with EU requirements.
