Work of the Committee
The Taxation Committee is primarily
involved in taxation matters as they
affect a solicitor in practice. It meets
at least monthly. The Committee
responds to members' requests or
queries in relation to taxation matters
and in particular queries in relation
to Capital Acquisitions Thx, Capital
Gains Tax and Stamp Duty,
Corporation Thx and Income Thx.
There are also certain major events
each year which the Committee
spends some considerable time
assessing and summarising for the
benefit of the members of the
profession. Firstly, there is the
consideration of the Budget and the
production of the Budget highlights
for use by members of the profession.
Secondly, there is an annual meeting
with the Revenue Commissioners
which considers difficulties which have
arisen in practice for solicitors and/or
difficulties with the operation of
provisions of the sections of certain
Acts. There is a useful exchange of
information at this meeting and the
Committee welcomes members'
comments and suggestions in this
regard. Thirdly, the Committee
considers the terms of the Finance
Bill or Bills each year and summarises
the provisions and circulates them to
the members. Fourthly, the Committee
through its representative participates
in the Thx Administration Liaison
Committee (TALC) with the Revenue
Commissioners and again on certain
of its sub-committees. The purpose of
TALC and the Law Society's
representation on this Committee is to
assist in the smooth running and
operation in practice of the tax
system.
Benefit to the Profession of
Committee
The Committee works closely with
other committees in the Law Society
and assists them in coming to
conclusions in respect of certain
matters. Its principal benefit to the
profession is that the profession is
seen to have an active and competent
committee in this area which can
assist the Law School in the setting of
its syllabus, in responding to members
queries and in informing the
profession from time to time of
important matters and the provisions
of the Budget and the Finance Bill.
