Written Answers. - Income Tax Statistics.

Noel Ahern

Question:

139 Mr. N. Ahern asked the Minister for Finance if the Revenue Commissioners have details of income tax payments by occupation; and if so, if he will give details for medical doctors and consultants respectively, showing the income categories involved and the number in each category.

Minister for Finance (Mr. B. Ahern)

I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that statistics are not recorded in such a manner as would enable the information requested by the Deputy to be provided. Such information could not be obtained without undertaking an inquiry which could be carried out only at disproportionate cost.
