I move amendment No. 44:

In page 26, line 31, after “Office.” to insert “Such disclosure will not be used to apply taxation on National Lottery prize monies.”.

This amendment relates to the provision in section 49 requiring the operator to disclose specific information on prize winners to the office of the Revenue Commissioners for the purpose of administering the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997. The section also provides that information will be made available to the Department of Social Protection. My amendment seeks to ensure that the provision of this information to the Revenue Commissioners is not the first step towards taxing prize moneys.
