Written answers

Minister for Finance

I propose to take Questions Nos. 224 and 225 together.

I am advised by Revenue that traders are not required to identify the VAT yield generated from the supply of specific goods and services on their VAT returns. Therefore, it is not possible to provide an accurate estimate of VAT collected on the assistive technology scheme in schools using information provided on tax returns.

Question No. 225 answered with Question No. 224.
