ICAI is hosting a breakfast briefing on 27 March 2007 to provide a discussion forum for the VAT on Property consultation, including draft legislation which is expected to be published in early March. Sean Brodie, VAT partner at PriceWaterhouseCoopers, will deliver a presentation on the draft legislation before opening the topic for discussion.

The purpose of the Breakfast Briefing is to give Chartered Accountants an opportunity to give their views on the proposed changes, including the draft legislation. The Tax Department of the ICAI is planning a detailed submission to the Department of Finance on the proposed changes based on the views made at the briefing. This is an opportunity for members to make their views known.

Further details on the briefing will be sent to our members shortly, and will also be available at www.icai.ie.
