The first is the announcement by the Minister for Finance of financial plans for the coming year, which he did yesterday. The second is the enactment of these measures in law which takes place early in the New Year. Sometimes, what is announced in the Budget is changed in the Finance Act and new measures can be introduced at that stage as well. In his Budget speech, the Minister commented that both the residential and commercial property markets are showing signs of stabilisation in 2012. He confirmed that the reduced rates of stamp duty which he introduced in the 2012 Budget and the 7 year Capital Gains Tax holiday on property acquired before the end of 2013 will continue. While the major piece of property related news is the introduction of a residential property tax, the Minister was able to announce some new initiatives to encourage activity in the property market. http://www.mhc.ie/news-and-events/article/813/budget-2013-key-property-measures http://www.mhc.ie/news-and-events/article/813/budget-2013-key-property-measures Thu, 06 Dec 2012 00:00:00 +0000 Not many have escaped the effects of Budget 2013 announced in Dáil Éireann yesterday afternoon, and employers are no different.

The Bill introduces a comprehensive and balanced regime to address personal insolvency as required by Ireland's IMF country programme. It envisages the creation of an Insolvency Service of Ireland to oversee the legislative regime. Under the Bill, creditors will continue to hold the whip hand over debtors: Creditors holding 65% by value of debt must approve any Debt Settlement Arrangement (DSA) or Personal Insolvency Arrangement (PIA); Secured creditors must get the value of their security; Criminal and civil penalties are provided for failures to disclose assets by debtors; There is a reinstatement of debts if a debtor fails to honour a PIA or DSA. There is a "triple lock" to get into the main processes of DSA or PIA requiring an insolvency practitioner, the Insolvency Service and the court to be satisfied that the debtor qualifies. There is a touchstone test that a PIA, DSA (but oddly not a Debt Relief Notice) cannot be unfairly prejudicial to a creditor. A critical role is envisaged for the Insolvency Service to determine what is a reasonable standard of living for a debtor and his dependents. All security rights (not just the family home) can be affected by a PIA. This may impact on banks' appetite to lend to unincorporated businesses such as doctors, dentists, accountants and lawyers. http://www.mhc.ie/news-and-events/article/752/overview-personal-insolvency-bill http://www.mhc.ie/news-and-events/article/752/overview-personal-insolvency-bill Fri, 29 Jun 2012 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.mhc.ie/news-and-events/article/754/arbitrage-in-personal-bankruptcy http://www.mhc.ie/news-and-events/article/754/arbitrage-in-personal-bankruptcy Fri, 29 Jun 2012 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.mhc.ie/news-and-events/article/748/seminar-growing-a-business-in-the-food-sector http://www.mhc.ie/news-and-events/article/748/seminar-growing-a-business-in-the-food-sector Wed, 27 Jun 2012 00:00:00 +0100 Welcome to the June/July 2012 edition of the Investment Funds Update http://www.mhc.ie/news-and-events/article/751/investment-funds-update-june-july-2012 http://www.mhc.ie/news-and-events/article/751/investment-funds-update-june-july-2012 Mon, 25 Jun 2012 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.mhc.ie/news-and-events/article/767/iba-annual-conference-2012-dublin-writers http://www.mhc.ie/news-and-events/article/767/iba-annual-conference-2012-dublin-writers Sat, 23 Jun 2012 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.mhc.ie/news-and-events/article/750/liberty-mutual-most-innovative-deal-of-the-year-2012 http://www.mhc.ie/news-and-events/article/750/liberty-mutual-most-innovative-deal-of-the-year-2012 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 00:00:00 +0100 Mason Hayes & Curran is pleased to have provided independent legal advice on the new IP Protocol on Putting Public Research to Work for Ireland.
