The budget change referred to in the question was estimated to yield €50 million in 2013. However, I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that figures of capital gains tax receipts are not captured in such a manner as would enable the impact of this change to be separately identified. It may be noted that as this change applied to disposals made after 5 December, 2012 the bulk of capital gains tax receipts affected by the change are not due for payment until 15 December, 2013.
