Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 6 November 2013
49. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Finance the number of persons who paid the domicile levy in 2012 and to date in 2013; the sum collected for the Exchequer from this levy in those periods; and the number of persons who have declared themselves as non-resident in the State for tax purposes during those periods. [47309/13]
View answerI am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the latest available information on the Domicile Levy is for the tax year 2011, which is that 17 persons have submitted Domicile Levy returns for that year. The amount of Domicile Levy paid in relation to those returns was €2,500,493. Returns for tax year 2012 are not due until 31 October 2013 (or 14 November 2013 for Revenue Online Service electronic filers) and both sets of returns will require to be processed before new data can be derived. I am also informed by the Revenue Commissioners that 13,515 persons filed income tax returns for 2011 and indicated they were non-resident for income tax purposes for that year. Again, 2011 is the most recent year in respect of which this information is available. These figures are updates to figures provided to the House on foot of answers to Parliamentary Questions earlier this year.
