I propose to take Questions Nos. 72 to 74, inclusive, together.

I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the full year yields to the Exchequer, estimated by reference to 2010 incomes, of applying an increase of 1% to each of the current income levy rates of 2%, 4%, and 6% would be approximately €596 million, €48 million, and €43 million respectively. The corresponding yields in 2010 would be of the order of €431 million, €30 million and €22 million respectively. The figures are estimates from the Revenue tax-forecasting model using actual data for the year 2007 adjusted as necessary for income and employment trends for the year 2010. They are therefore provisional and likely to be revised.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 75 and 76 together.

I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the full year yield to the Exchequer from applying a 1% change to the 4% health levy rate on incomes up to €75,036 and a 1% change to the 5% health levy rate on incomes over €75,036 is estimated at €462 million and €90 million respectively. The corresponding yield in 2010 would be of the order of €336 million and €52 million respectively. The figures are estimates from the Revenue tax-forecasting model using actual data for the year 2007 adjusted as necessary for income and employment trends for the year 2010. They are therefore provisional and likely to be revised.
