Ivor Callely
Question:100 Mr. Callely asked the Minister for Finance the total revenue generated from vehicle registration tax and other indirect taxes in the Dublin area in 1994; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13515/95]
Written Answers. - Indirect Tax Revenue.
I assume the Deputy's question refers to the net amounts of excise duty, Vehicle Registration Tax (VRT) and VAT collected in respect of motor vehicles and motor fuels in Dublin. I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that a statistical breakdown for Dublin of the revenue yield from VRT and other taxes is not available. Such information either could not be obtained, or could not be obtained without undertaking inquiries which could be carried out only at a disproportionate cost.
I have, however, included a statement of the total net receipts from these taxes during 1994.

It should be noted that as VAT returns are not compiled in a manner which would enable the yield from particular goods and services to be identified, the figures for VAT are estimated.
