Clare Daly

Question:

114. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Finance the projected loss to the Exchequer per annum of the abolition of the rule within the relevant legislation that provides that home owners with pyrite damage below the significant damage certification threshold who have not been accepted into the pyrite remediation scheme cannot avail of the LPT pyrite exemption. [31486/17]

Written answers

Minister for Finance

I am advised by Revenue that statutory LPT return in 2013 did not require information in respect of pyrite damage below certification thresholds to be provided to Revenue and therefore the necessary data are not available to provide a basis for estimating the loss to the Exchequer from extending the pyrite exemption to such cases.
