I understand the Deputy is looking for the volume and value of sales of principal private residences which are not subject to Capital Gains Tax (CGT). I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that information on the value of capital gains arising from the disposal of principal private residences is not required in CGT returns (most disposals of principal private residences do not lead to a CGT liability). I am also informed by the Revenue Commissioners that Stamp Duty returns do not show whether the house being sold was the principal private residence of the vendor. They are therefore unable to supply data on the volume and value of sales of principal private residences which are not subject to CGT.
Housing statistics are a matter for my colleague, the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government.
