I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the estimated amounts of Income Levy collected in each month to date in 2009 are contained in the following table.

MonthIncome Levy (€m)
February53
March57
April61
May56
June103

The figure for the month of June is provisional and subject to revision.

The latest available detailed receipts for the pension related-deduction on public service remuneration are to end-May and total to just under €200 million. The table below shows the receipts for each month since the introduction of the pension-related deduction on 1 March 2009. These figures do not include receipts from the employees of Local Authorities.

MonthPensions Related Deduction (€m)
March10.5
April84.6
May100

The overall yield for 2009 is anticipated to be in line with the latest published estimates, which take account of the changes to arrangements introduced in the April 2009 Supplementary Budget.
