Committee on Budgetary Oversight

Post-budget 2023 Examination: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Niall Cassidy:

There is a slight discrepancy there. We report on a gross basis with our receipts whereas Revenue reports on a net basis. Thus, they do not always match. Some receipts come directly to us via the Exchequer, such as motor tax, which do not go to the Revenue Commissioners. That is why one sees a little bit of a discrepancy sometimes. I know there have been various calls for us to use the net receipts on our monthly figures, but our problem is that the overall Exchequer statement would not add up properly. They are largely marginal and the discrepancies between both sides would not be massive.
