78. Deputy Michael McGrath asked the Minister for Finance the budgeted yield from tax compliance measures in budgets since budget 2012 and the actual yield taken by the Revenue Commissioners from compliance measures in each year in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [44160/19]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by Revenue that the following table ##sets out the compliance measures introduced since Budget 2012. The table includes the projected yields and the actual yields achieved. Links to various relevant analysis and reviews published by Revenue are also included for the Deputy’s information.
The total yields are determined using a conservative approach as other actions and interventions by Revenue may have stimulated partial uplift.
