I move:

That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to make provision for the annual issuance to each person paying Income Tax and other such direct taxes on earnings of an itemised statement of tax paid in the most recent tax year, the estimated tax payments to be made in the coming tax year and a breakdown of the areas of government spending on which the paid taxes are to be spent and in conjunction with this measure to provide an on-line mechanism whereby all payers of Value Added Tax and Excise may estimate the total amount of such taxes paid on goods and services with a view to calculating a similar detailed breakdown of the areas of government spending on which the paid taxes are to be spent and to make the necessary provisions so that every purchase order by a government department or agency for more than five thousand euro must be published.

Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.
