Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 24 June 2014
162. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Finance the amount of revenue generated by the domicile levy in the years 2010 to date in 2014, inclusive; and the measures being taken by the Revenue Commissioners to increase compliance with the measure. [27302/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the figures for the domicile levy are per the following table. This is the amount of tax collected in each of the years specified. Although the domicile levy was introduced in 2010, the first returns and payment were not due to be filed and paid until 2011 hence there are no payments in 2010. There are no payments to date in 2014 as the 2013 returns are not due to be filed and paid until October 2014 and no payments in respect of previous years have been received to date.

I am further informed by the Revenue Commissioners that there is an on-going compliance programme in relation to individuals who appear to meet the criteria in relation to the domicile levy for the years 2010 to 2013. The purpose of the compliance program is to determine whether these individuals meet all the criteria in relation to the levy and to quantify and collect any outstanding domicile levy liability that might be due for back years. These enquiries are being conducted on a number of levels, including full audit.
