asked the Minister for Finance whether, in the published accounts of the Government, viz., the Income and Expenditure Account, the proceeds of taxation under the Income Tax, Corporation Profits Tax, and Excess Profits Duty are shown gross or net; if the proceeds are shown gross, whether he will state where the repayments for drawback under the Excise duties, repayments for Income Tax and Excess Profits Duty, are shown and included on the Expenditure side, under what Vote they are paid, and what are the gross amounts of same for 1923-24; if the proceeds are shown net, whether he will state under what Vote or authority of the Dáil repayments are made, the head of expenditure under which shown, and the gross amount for the year 1923-24 under the separate heads of Excise, Customs, and Income Tax; further, if the published proceeds of Income Tax include non-recurring receipts in respect of arrears, and, if so, if he will state the gross and net amounts of such arrears shown in the published totals.
