The Minister for Finance has said tax cuts for workers are \u201centirely possible\u201d.<\/p>\n
However, Simon Harris stressed any cuts would be contingent on the economy \u201cnot hitting any shocks\u201d.<\/p>\n
Speaking on RT\u00c9\u2019s Today With David McCullagh, the T\u00e1naiste said: \u201cI\u2019m very keen on the idea that work has to pay, and I\u2019m very conscious of the fact that we\u2019re in an economy where wages are growing, thankfully, when more people are working than ever before, thankfully.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have to always make sure that as people earn a few extra bob or do a few extra hours or get a promotion, that more and more of that money isn\u2019t going into the government coffers and is actually getting to stay with families and stay in communities.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cI think it\u2019s entirely possible, subject to the economy being continuing to be well run, and not hitting any shocks, because there are many, but based based on what I see now, I expect us to be able to get back to the normal rhythm of a tax and a spending package in the next budget.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd we\u2019ve made clear commitments around a progressive tax regime in the Programme for Government and I intend to implement that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Minister for Finance has said tax cuts for workers are \u201centirely possible\u201d.
