Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 11 June 2013
166. Deputy Joe McHugh asked the Minister for Finance the amounts of value added tax returns and PRSI returns that were lost due to liquidations in the years 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and to date in 2013. [26856/13]
View answerI am advised by Revenue that it does not maintain returns data in a format that allows specific extraction for liquidation cases. Such data would require manual extraction on a case by case basis and would be very resource intensive.
Revenue does however maintain very precise data on all VAT and PRSI money that is written out as uncollectible arising from liquidations. The figures for the years requested by the Deputy are detailed in the table below.
