Written answers

I assume the Deputy is referring to pre-budget submissions received by my Department.

The Taxation Divisions of my Department received almost 700 pre-budget submissions in relation to Budget 2025 and the Finance Bill. Some of these are duplicates sent in by different public representatives on behalf of the same organisation. The Department maintains a list of submissions received and all submissions are acknowledged by the Department on receipt. The relevant officials in the Division consider all pre-budget submissions in the context of the Budget and Finance Bill.

I can confirm that I received pre-budget submissions from or on behalf of the following organisations:

A large number of submissions were also received from private individuals, and as the Deputy will appreciate it would not be appropriate to include them in the above list.

I should also point out that submissions may be received by the Department outside of the pre-budget process but would nonetheless be given due consideration. For example, responses to public consultations could be considered as part of the Budget/Finance Bill process as appropriate. These would not necessarily be included in the lists above. It is also possible that what an organisation may consider to be a pre-budget submission may not be categorised as such by the Department, nonetheless it would have received due consideration.

Finally, I should say that I have endeavoured to give as full and accurate an answer as possible but the Deputy will appreciate that given the sheer volume of pre-budget submissions at what is a very busy time for my Department, it is not possible to confirm that it is an exhaustive list.
