Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 10 October 2023
103. Deputy John Paul Phelan asked the Minister for Finance whether he is aware of a recent report (details supplied) on total tax revenue as a proportion of national income in the United Kingdom; if his Department monitors any similar measure of the overall level of taxation in Ireland; and if so, to outline the findings of any such research in recent years. [43720/23]
View answerMy Department regularly monitors all fiscal developments and publishes updates on taxation receipts on a monthly basis in the Fiscal Monitor and biannually in the Stability Programme Update and Budget documentation.
Receipts are also analysed from a structural perspective in the Annual Taxation Report. The most recent Annual Taxation Report set out total taxation receipts as a share of national income. The report is available at: www.gov.ie/en/publication/69bd1-annual-taxation-report-2023/.
In 2022, Exchequer taxation revenue amounted to €83.1 billion. As a share of national income, as measured by GNI*, this amounted to approximately 30 per cent.
