Amharc ar fhreagraI am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the Revenue statistics website, http://www.revenue.ie/en/about/statistics/index.html, includes detailed information for those tax expenditures where costs are available. These cost estimates are published in the Costs of Tax Expenditures (Credits, Allowances and Reliefs) tables on the website. Updates for later years will be published in due course. I am further advised that there are some other tax expenditures, not included in the above tables, for which estimates of costs are not readily available.
