Question 81: To ask the Minister for Finance if the New Leaf Celbridge Mental Health Housing Association in Celbridge, County Kildare, which has exempt charity status, will be afforded full charity status to enable the project to proceed; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [11516/05]

I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the Celbridge Mental Health Housing Association Limited has been granted charitable status. There is no separate concept of "full" charity status and the status granted in this case allows for all the exemptions applicable to charities. A charitable body is exempt from income tax, corporation tax, capital gains tax, deposit interest retention tax, capital acquisitions tax, stamp duty, probate tax and dividend withholding tax but not from VAT.
