146 Mr. Cox asked the Minister for Finance the amount of money raised in the tax amnesty; the number of tax cases/individuals; the part of those respective totals which relate to the 15 per cent amnesty, and the part related to the general amnesty; and, in view of all the information available to him, if he will make a statement on the matter.
157 Mr. Cox asked the Minister for Finance the number of cases of previously undeclared taxes that availed of the 15 per cent tax amnesty; the amount of such undeclared income; and the amount raised as a result.
158 Mr. Cox asked the Minister for Finance the number of cases of previously declared but unpaid tax liability who availed of the 15 per cent tax amnesty; the amount of such declared income; and the amount that has been raised as a result.
228 Mr. E. O'Keeffe asked the Minister for Finance if he will make a statement on the success of the recent amnesty; and the amount of money which will become available to the State as a result of this amnesty.
I propose to take Questions Nos. 146, 157, 158 and 228 together.
The total amount of tax paid under the recent tax amnesty is currently estimated at £240 million, of which some £9 million was paid in 1993. It is estimated that the amount of tax remitted under the Incentive (15 per cent) Amnesty was of the order of £190 million with the balance relating to the General Amnesty.
