The Deputy’s question relates to encouraging retail investment.
Supporting retail investment is a priority for the Government. In line with the commitment made in Budget 2026, I will publish a new approach to simplify and adapt the current taxation framework for retail investment while retaining necessary and important anti-avoidance protections in a proportionate manner in the coming months.
The work underway includes consideration of the Funds Sector 2030 Report, including the issue of deemed disposal and the taxation of ETFs, as well as the European Commission’s recommendation on Savings and Investment Accounts. I hope further progress can be made to address some of the existing obstacles to greater retail investment.
