Assessment of Possible Fiscal Incentives in Relation to the Built Heritage in Ireland’ s Towns

Market Research & Economic Evaluation Built/Urban Heritage & Archaeology

This report assesses if specified fiscal instruments and other measures could and should be used to incentivise investment in the built heritage in Irish towns.

Particular focus of the analysis is on assessing which fiscal incentives (i.e. tax allowances) might be most effective and beneficial. Various options are assessed using a multi-criteria analysis. The report concludes that a restructured
version of the Living Cities Initiative holds promise.
