Tax Cut Reality Check

Read more about: Government, Irish Election, Irish Politics, Parties, Taxation

Here is the real question, has any party in Irish history ever delivered real tax cuts after they have been elected?

While I voted in the last local elections in Cork a few years, my poor election memory has raised the the yellow card with regards to political promises. They never seem to happen.

So with that in mind, can you really believe any politician, or any party when they propose a tax cut?

Could it really only be an attempt to buy votes?

I’ll cash in that reality check!

NO, I don’t believe them.

and

YES, this is just idol political jockeying.

I guess we will just have to tighten our belts again.

    well the difficulty is no party will admit that tax cuts mean a knock on reduction in service quality. Of course there are efficiencies in the system but no amount of efficiencies allow for high spending low tax.

    Yet all parties think it can happen. I agree with you on this one, since FF attempted to shift the tax to VAT and other forms away from income its still robbing peter to pay paul.
