Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 6 November 2012
271. Deputy Gerald Nash asked the Minister for Finance the amount raised in 2011 from the domicile levy; the amount raised in each year since its introduction; the number of persons who have paid the levy each year since 2009; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [48649/12]
View answerI am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the Domicile Levy was introduced by section 150 of the Finance Act 2010. Returns and payments in respect of the Domicile Levy for any tax year are made in the following year. In 2011, returns and payments in respect of the Domicile Levy for the tax year 2010 (the first year for which the levy applied) were made by 11 persons who paid a total of €1,667,011.
As the Domicile Levy return and payment date for the tax year 2011 is 15 November 2012 (for persons who file their income tax returns using the Revenue Online System (ROS)), it is not possible, at this stage, to provide full details of the number paying the levy or the yield for the tax year 2011.
