View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 192 to 194, inclusive, together.
I am advised by Revenue that within the tax code there are a number of tax reliefs associated with property and land but not specifically for use by property developers or land owners. The available statistics in relation to annual costs are on the Revenue website at http://www.revenue.ie/en/corporate/information-about-revenue/statistics. Updates will be published in due course as information for later years become available.
Of particular interest to the Deputy are likely to be:
- Tax expenditures and reliefs table, detailing the cost of interest paid loans relating to principal private residence, relief for expenditure on significant buildings and gardens and the rent a room scheme, is available at http://www.revenue.ie/en/corporate/information-about-revenue/statistics/tax-expenditures/costs-expenditures.aspx
