View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 374 to 376, inclusive, together.
The reliefs and exemptions to which the Deputy refers encompass a range of tax heads. Some of the measures are not exclusive to property owners and developers and many of them are no longer available to new claimants. In the time available, it has not been possible to collate the information sought. However, my officials will continue their work in this regard and I will revert to the Deputy as soon as possible.
In the meantime, tables setting out various tax expenditures including property related measures, from various dates up to 2015 or 2016 (the most recent years for which figures are available) are provided by Revenue at the following links:
