246. Deputy Joan Burton asked the Minister for Finance the number of notifications received by the Revenue Commissioners from other tax authorities of recipients of pensions from other EU member states resident here in 2017 and to date in 2018 under headings (details supplied) by country, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answer247. Deputy Joan Burton asked the Minister for Finance the number of taxpayers that declared foreign social security pensions, foreign occupational pensions or other foreign pensions in their tax returns in each of the years 2013 to 2016, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25632/18]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 246 and 247 together.
Regarding Question 25631/18, Revenue has advised me that the requested data is not available as the relevant tax returns for 2017 and 2018 are not yet due.
Regarding Question 25632/18, the table below sets out the number of taxpayers that have declared ‘Foreign State Pension’ or ‘Foreign Other Pension’ in their tax returns for the years 2013 to 2015, the latest years for which data are available. In situations where taxpayers have opted for joint assessment, for example married couples or those in a civil partnership, the information is included only once in the table.
Revenue has also advised me that due to the manner in which returns are filed, it is not possible to separately identify foreign occupational pensions from all other foreign non-social security pensions.
