Phil Hogan
Question:95 Mr. Hogan asked the Minister for Finance the total Exchequer VAT receipts on the sale of new houses countrywide from 1990 to 1997 inclusive. [4437/98]
Written Answers - Tax Yield.
The position is that VAT returns are not completed in a manner which would enable the yield from particular goods or services to be identified.
However, based on data published by the Department of the Environment and Local Government in respect of new house completions, the net VAT yield from the sale of new houses, including apartments countrywide from 1990 to 1997, is estimated at about £1,250 million.
