asked the Minister for Finance the number of persons liable to sur-tax in each of the years 1957-58 to 1961-62 inclusive; and the estimated loss of revenue to the State by reason of the variations in the sur-tax liability granted in 1959 and 1960.

Mr. Ryan
Material is not yet available on which to base an estimate of the number of individuals liable to sur-tax for the year 1961-62. The estimated numbers liable for the years 1957-58 to 1960-61 are as follows:
|
1957-58 |
10,000 |
|
1958-59 |
5,000 |
|
1959-60 |
5,500 |
|
1960-61 |
4,000 |
I presume that, in the second part of his question, the Deputy has in mind the sur-tax reliefs granted by the 1959 and 1961 Budgets. It is estimated that, for a full year, the cost of these reliefs is approximately £630,000.
