View answer170. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Finance the level and projected levels of general revenue from 2010 to 2024, inclusive, or the latest available date by tax and non-tax revenue (details supplied) in tabular form. [6561/19]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 169 and 170 together.
Firstly, it is worth noting that projections for the General Government (GG) revenue and expenditure for 2018 to 2023 can be found in table 11 of the Economic and Fiscal Outlook, published as part of Budget 2019. The figures are reproduced below for the Deputy’s convenience. As the Deputy will appreciate, projections beyond 2023 have not been complied by my Department. All nominal GG revenue and expenditure figures provided as follows are displayed in millions.
Table 1 as follows sets out the Central Statistics Office's (CSO) outturns for the period 2010 to 2017 in respect of GG revenue and GG revenue expressed as a percentage of GNI*, GDP and GG expenditure. The CSO will publish its first official estimate for 2018 in April.
In addition, the table also includes EU-15 and EU-28 comparisons of GG revenue as percentage of GDP. The latter data, up to and including 2017, is available on Eurostat's database.
