The income levy is collected by the Revenue Commissioners as a component of income tax. I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that approximately €1.1 billion was collected from the income levy in 2009. In budget 2010, it was forecast that income tax receipts of €11,530 million would be collected in 2010. It is expected that the yield from the income levy will be of the order of €1.5 billion.

The 2009 outturn for the health levy was approximately €1.8 billion. The 2010 budget provided for an estimate of €2.4 billion. This estimate is subject to revision in the Revised Estimates Volume in light of the 2009 outturn.
