Building a Prosperous and United Community, the ‘Economic Pact’ signed by the Government and the Northern Ireland Executive in 2013, recognised the need to examine the potential to devolve additional fiscal powers to Northern Ireland.

As a result, the Executive is examining the treatment of a range of taxes. The Government will consider any proposals put forward.
