The Tax Strategy Group (TSG) is in place since the early 1990s and is chaired by the Department of Finance, with membership comprising senior officials and political advisers from a number of civil service Departments and Offices.
Papers on various options for tax policy changes are prepared annually by Department of Finance officials. Papers relating to PRSI and social welfare issues are prepared for by the Department of Social Protection.
The TSG is not a decision-making body - the papers produced by these Departments are simply a list of options and issues to be considered as part of the Budgetary process.
This year's meeting of the TSG was held on 15 July 2025.
