View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 108 to 111, inclusive, together.
I am advised by Revenue that it is not possible to provide the information requested by the Deputy as the categories of purchaser mentioned (first time buyers, REITs, IREFs, section 110 companies and non-Irish residents) are not separately identified on Revenue’s Stamp Duty system. This is because there is no differential treatment applied to such taxpayers in the application of Stamp Duty on the purchase of residential property.
