I am advised by Revenue that the information sought by the Deputy is not maintained in a format that easily facilitates extraction of the specific figures from the overall income tax take. However, on the basis of an estimated ‘sectoral’ analysis of taxes collected annually, Revenue has calculated that the net income tax (inclusive of the Universal Social Charge) collected through the PAYE system from public sector employees in 2012 was of the order of €3.8 billion.
