asked the Minister for Finance the annual total amount of turnover tax collected from retail pharmacists; and the proportion thereof attributable to sales of medicines for humans.
Written Answers. - Turnover Tax.
16.
Turnover tax is payable monthly in one sum by registered persons on their total receipts from sales of taxable goods to unregistered persons. A breakdown of the receipts to give the total amount collected from retail pharmacists is not made; and even if this information were available it would not be possible to state the amount of tax attributable to medicines as distinct from other commodities dealt in by chemists.
