I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the amount of VAT collected from the supply of school ebooks is not separately identifiable from the supply of other goods or services as businesses are obliged to calculate and return VAT by reference to their entire taxable supplies. As such, the Commissioners are unable to estimate the cost of such a scheme.
