Ireland has outlined a new government-backed tax-advantaged savings account that will allow investments in listed equities, listed bonds and ETFs; derivatives and crypto will be excluded. Accounts are expected to start early next year; investment returns will be tax-exempt up to a statutory limit, with a low flat tax rate applying above that threshold. The account limits and other details will be published in the October 6 budget. The government said the current 38% deemed-disposal tax on investment funds will not apply to these accounts. The measure is part of an EU push to redirect some of roughly €11 tln (about $12.8 tln) in household bank deposits into investment to boost growth and household wealth.
