I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the full year yield to the Exchequer, estimated by reference to 2013 incomes, of reducing the age exemption limits by €1,000 and €2,000 for single and married respectively would be of the order of €24 million. This figure is an estimate from the Revenue tax-forecasting model using actual data for the year 2010 adjusted as necessary for income and employment trends in the interim. It is, therefore, provisional and may be revised.
