Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 17 June 2015
96. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Finance the income tax liabilities of the key sectors of the Irish economy during each of the years 2012 to 2014, inclusive, and on the actual gross amounts of income tax contributed by each sector during that period; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24198/15]
View answerI am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the net liability for income tax for the major sectors for the years 2012 and 2013 was as shown in the following table, as at the end of March 2015. These figures include net income tax liability and also liability for USC and PRSI. I am also informed that approximately €141 million of this amount was still under active collection at the end of March 2015. Analysis of the 2014 tax year is not yet available. These figures relate to income tax liabilities under Schedule D only, i.e. self-employed income tax payers, and do not include income tax liabilities of employees which are collected via the PAYE system.
