Officials warned of ‘consequential legislative change’ that could be needed if definitions were left to courts

Revenue officials warned privately of tax implications of family referendum before ministers said there were nonePoll analysis: Housing and immigration are making the headlines, but other topics are becoming more prominent“In relation to your specific question, the proposed amendment will not affect taxation, succession or family law,” the Government said during the campaign.

“If it is the case that the proposed Constitutional change would leave the definition of a Family to the courts, there may be some uncertainty for a time while this definition is settled.” Separate files show Finance officials then set out the possible need for “consequential legislative changes to tax law” to the Department of Equality, which ran the referendum.

. The Government had insisted the draft amendment to “strive to support” care would impose an express obligation on the State in the Constitution.
