I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that receipts from the temporary 0.6% stamp duty levy on pension fund assets introduced in the Finance (No. 2) Act 2011 amounted to €463 million in 2011 and to €477 million in 2012 by the end of September. This is broadly in line with the amounts anticipated to be collected over the period.
