Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 19 July 2016
211. Deputy Michael McGrath asked the Minister for Finance the number of capital acquisition tax cases in each year from 2010 to 2015 by reference to the relationship of the beneficiary to the disponer; the total tax raised in each year from group A, B and C beneficiaries in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22632/16]
View answerI am advised by Revenue that the numbers of Capital Acquisition Tax (CAT) cases from 2010 to 2015 are shown in the following table by reference to relationship of the beneficiary to the disponer. This table represents the number of cases with a CAT liability and includes cases in respect of both gifts and inheritances. Where the number of cases is less than 10, the precise number cannot be given due to obligations to ensure taxpayer confidentiality.
