The position at end May 2004 is that Exchequer tax receipts in respect of VAT amounted to €4,921 million. This is €85 million, or 1.8%, ahead of the target to end-May outlined in the profile of expected Exchequer tax receipts in 2004 published by my Department at end-January 2004. Stamp duty receipts amounted to €720 million at end-May which is €66 million, or 10.1%, ahead of target. CAT receipts were €67 million at end-May which is €5 million, or 8.1%, ahead of profile.
