Budget 2023 Tax Strategy Group papers

The Tax Strategy Group (TSG) is in place since the early 1990’s and is chaired by the Department of Finance with membership comprising senior officials and political advisers from a number of Civil Service Departments and Offices.

Papers on various options for tax policy changes are prepared annually by Department of Finance officials. The TSG is not a decision making body and the papers produced by the Department are simply a list of options and issues to be considered in the Budgetary process. Any papers relating to PRSI and social welfare issues are also prepared for the Group by the Department of Employment Affairs and Social Protection.

This year's meeting of the TSG was held on 12 July 2022.
