I propose, with the permission of the Cheann Comhairle, to circulate in the Official Report a statement giving the required information in respect of all public authorities for each year 1947-48 to 1960-61. Direct taxes have been taken as taxes on income and capital (including social insurance contributions), while indirect taxes have been taken as taxes on expenditure (including rates).
Following is the statement:—
(a) Taxes on income and capital (including social insurance contributions) and (b) taxes on expenditure (including rates), as a percentage of total taxation.
