Figures for the Health Levy are not included in the table above as this levy, which was abolished in Budget 2011, did not exceed 1% of Gross Receipts collected for the period in question.
* These are projected Exchequer forecasts and are provisional and may be revised.
** Some moneys## have been received under the Income Levy since 2011 but these are not material.
