Committee on Budgetary Oversight
Scrutiny of Tax Expenditures (Resumed)
Mr. Seamus Coffey:
At its peak in 2006, stamp duty amounted to around €7 billion. If one considers the broad gamut of property transaction-related taxes - stamp duty, capital acquisitions and capital gains tax - at their peak they provided roughly one fifth of Government revenue. Coincidentally, that is where corporation tax stands today.
