Taxation of farmers

Summary

Spring asked whether farmer taxation was discussed and what alternatives the ICMSA proposed. The Taoiseach said the Government supported taxing farmers on the same basis as others, while the ICMSA had its own policy.

I am sure the Taoiseach is well aware that the ICMSA have campaigned vociferously for many years against tax on accounts. Was this matter discussed and what were their proposed alternatives in the form of a land tax or produce tax?

I think the positions of both of us are well known in that regard. The Government are firmly committed to the taxation of farmers on the same basis as the rest of the community. The ICMSA have their own policy in regard to farmer taxation.
