My Department currently expects that there will be a gain to Income tax in 2007 of approximately €600 million over 2006 arising from the discontinuance of the tax credit contribution to SSIA's and also the exit tax yield from maturing SSIA's.

It should be noted that in 2007 the gain arising from the ending of the SSIA scheme will be broadly offset by the cash-flow loss from the ending of the transitional arrangements for the movement of the payment date for Corporation tax from a prior to a current year basis which was introduced in Budget 2002.
