The change I announced in the 2013 Budget to apply the standard rates of USC to those aged 70 years of age or over and medical card holders earning €60,000 and above was estimated to yield €25 million in 2013. However, I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that figures of USC receipts are not captured in such a manner as would enable the impact of this change to be separately identified.
