Intent: IFA Propose::• IFA supports the Programme for Government commitment to reviewing the thresholds for CAT. As land values have increased, IFA supports the increase of the Category A threshold (parent and child) from the current rate of €400,000 to €500,000.::• Due to changing demographics and family structures, the Favourite Nephew or Niece relief should be extended to a Favourite Successor Relief, allowing the farm to be gifted to someone in a better position to continue farming the land. The movement from Category B/C threshold to Category A would allow for a lower tax liability, protecting the farm's sustainability and promoting generation renewal. This would align with a qualifying successor criterion under the Fair Deal Successor Scheme.::• No age limit requirements should be imposed on farmers seeking relief when transferring land between generations.
