Among the issues discussed were the tax treatment of income received under the General Medical Services (GMS) scheme, the draft Tax and Duty Manual on foreign pension lump sums, the impact of the General Block Exemption Regulation (GBER) updates on the Employment Investment Incentive (EII) scheme, and other matters.
Revenue has also committed to a review of the procedures it follows when updating its Tax and Duty Manuals (TDMs). The Institute, under the auspices of the CCAB-I, met with Revenue last October to discuss the proposed review. Our representatives asked that a historic database of TDMs could be developed and that TDMs remain available while under review. This is an ongoing issue where TDMs are removed while being reviewed.
