It is assumed the Deputy is enquiring about a Stamp Duty rate of 4% on the value of residential properties in excess of €800,000, where properties are valued above this amount (currently a 2% rate applies on values over €1m).
I am advised by Revenue that, based on transactions levels and values in recent years, the additional yield per annum from the proposed increase is estimated at €60m.
The Deputy may be interested to note that page 18 of the Revenue Ready Reckoner, which is available at www.revenue.ie/en/corporate/documents/statistics/ready-reckoner.pdf, shows the estimated yield from a range of changes to Stamp Duty rates and thresholds.
