Breaking down the budget over breakfast

Mullingar Chamber of Commerce, in association with Stephens Cooke and Associates, will host its annual budget breakfast briefing in the Greville Arms Hotel 15 October at 7.45am.

“The economy is performing strongly and we are expecting innovative tax measures to help sustain the recovery and there is an expectation that there will be a reduction in income tax. There is also great hopes among traders that this budget will include a significant international tax strategy,” said Ian Gavin, chamber president.

“The chamber will be ready to go the following morning after this government’s fourth budget, to provide expert analysis and guidance for our breakfast guests.”

The event which is being sponsored by AIB will include speakers from Stephens Cooke providing a comprehensive overview and up to date tax analysis of the key issues arising in Budget 2015.

“The budget breakfast presentations are a great way for chamber members to see how they will be affected both as individuals and as companies by any changes announced,” said Mr Galvin.

“The work of Mullingar Chamber of Commerce places a strong emphasis on the velocity of money in our economy here and the importance of businesses working together in a co-operative network to make the Mullingar economy a strong one, where everyone benefits.

“This event will provide crucial information to the self-employed, company directors, business owners, solicitors, accountants, people in the retail, industrial, tourism industry - in fact if you are in business then you should come along to this Budget 2015 briefing and learn how the budget will affect you.”

The event begins with registration at 7.45am and breakfast is served at 8am. To register your place call 0449344044.
