asked the Minister for Finance if he will state in respect of the financial years 1927/28 to 1934/35, inclusive, the percentage of the State revenue derived from (a) direct and (b) indirect taxation and indicate the respective percentages for direct and indirect taxation provided for in the Budget proposals for the current financial year.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Direct and Indirect Taxation.
I would refer the Deputy to the published finance accounts of Saorstát Eireann for the financial years 1927/28 to 1933/34 in which are shown the detailed receipts of revenue under the principal heads. The finance accounts for 1934/35 will be ready for publication in a few months.
Estimates of the yield of taxation for the current financial year will be found in the table explanatory of the Budget. These Estimates were very fully dealt with in my Budget speech of yesterday.
