Will ISA's be coming to Ireland anytime soon?


a good analysis of the funds industry calls on government for reforms of exit tax regime from the point of view of Ireland having 70% of the european ETFs domiciled here worth trillions yet irish retail investors are a tiny proportion of that. The most important change needs to be the abolition of deemed disposal completely.

The UK has pensions and ISAs, Denmark has tax efficent investment accounts and pensions.

Right now people already choose to decide to keep money in cash versus directing it to a pension. Irish households have a lot of cash on deposit - that is where Irish people invest for unforseen life events.

Due to the tax relief on the way in Revenue and the DoF will be reluctant to give flexible access to pensions. What we need is a way to invest without tax relief on the way in, but is otherwise tax efficient.
