Budget 2026 Hub

Budget 2026 was delivered to the Dáil on 7 October by Ministers Paschal Donohoe and Jack Chambers.

In their addresses, both ministers emphasised the need to balance short-term pressures with long-term planning. The €9.4 billion package reflects this approach, combining targeted investment with cautious fiscal management.

This year’s budget responds to rising costs, global uncertainty and infrastructure demands. Measures announced include increased support for housing, enhancements to the R&D tax credit, and adjustments to personal and business taxation. Further detail will be set out in the Finance Bill in the coming days.

The Forvis Mazars tax team has prepared a full summary and in-depth analysis of the key measures. You can explore the report below.
