Speaking today, the Chair of the Commission Professor Niamh Moloney said, “As the work of the Commission on Taxation and Welfare progresses, we want to hear as diverse a range of opinions and views as possible. We have already had great engagement with our public consultation Your Vision, Our Future and this virtual public meeting offers another opportunity for people to help influence our shared future and position our tax and welfare systems to meet future challenges.”
The Commission was established last year and is an independent body tasked by Government to “review how best the taxation and welfare system can support economic activity and income redistribution, whilst promoting increased employment and prosperity in a resilient, inclusive and sustainable way and ensuring that there are sufficient resources available to meet the costs of public services and supports in the medium and longer term.” The specific terms of reference for the Commission can be found at gov.ie/cotw.
The Commission will host its virtual public meeting on the evening of Wednesday 2 March at 7pm. Spaces are limited so go to cotw.citizenspace.com to register now.
