Ireland 'ahead of the posse' for Brexit & Tax Strategy Group

President of the Irish Exporters Association Nicola Byrne explains why Ireland is “way ahead of the posse” in preparing for Brexit.There is still a lot to do, but there is also a “huge amount that can happen in the right direction” for Ireland after Britain leaves the European Union, she tells presenter Cliff Taylor.They are joined by associate research professor at the Economic and Social Research Institute Martina Lawless, who outlines what the worst-case scenario could be when it comes to tariffs and barriers, and why paperwork may be a bigger concern for many Irish exporters post-Brexit.In the second half of the show, Irish Times business journalist Fiona Reddan takes us through some of the ideas being mooted by the department of finance’s tax strategy group, including the prospect of abolishing relief on family homes from capital gains tax when they are sold.
