14.

asked the Minister for Finance if he will state in respect of the latest convenient year of assessment the approximate cost of assessing and collecting income tax under Schedule A.

15.

asked the Minister for Finance if he will state in respect of the latest convenient year of assessment the approximate cost of assessing and collecting income tax under Schedule B.

16.

asked the Minister for Finance if he will state in respect of the latest convenient year of assessment (a) the total taxable income for Schedule B purposes, (b) the amount of the total taxable income which was taxed at (i) lower reduced rate, (ii) higher reduced rate and (iii) standard rate, and (c) the net amount of tax produced.

17.

asked the Minister for Finance if he will state in respect of the latest convenient year of assessment (a) the total taxable income for Schedule A purposes, (b) the amount of such total taxable income which was taxed at (i) lower reduced rate, (ii) higher reduced rate and (iii) standard rate, and (c) the net amount of tax produced.

I propose, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, to take questions Nos. 14 to 17 together.

It is not possible to state the cost of assessing and collecting Income Tax under either Schedule A or Schedule B.

As regards the other information for which the Deputy asks, separate particulars for Schedule A and for Schedule B are not available—except in relation to the net produce of the tax. The particulars relating to these Schedules are combined and those for the year 1956/57 are contained in a table which, with the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, I propose to circulate with the Official Report.

Following is the table:—
