Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 27 November 2014
73. Deputy Joanna Tuffy asked the Minister for Finance the amount in capital taxes that have been raised and the amount of DIRT tax since March 2011; the amount of this, in tabular form, that is due to budgetary changes brought in by the current Government; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [45675/14]
View answerI assume that the Deputy is referring to Capital Gains Tax and Capital Acquisition Tax.
I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that receipts of those taxes and DIRT for March to December 2011 are as set out in the following table.

I am further informed by the Revenue Commissioners that net receipts for 2012 to 2013 are published on the Commissioners' Statistics webpage at http://www.revenue.ie/en/about/statistics/index.html. Updates to these statistics, including receipts for 2014 once finalised, will be published in due course.
The amount of these receipts associated with budgetary changes brought in by the current government is not separately identifiable.
