I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the estimated net yield of VAT for the years 2005 to 2009 and the estimated breakdown in respect of the yields from the reduced VAT rate and the standard VAT rates are as set out in the following table.

The figures for 2009 are provisional and subject to revision. Due to the nature of VAT returns, precise figures for the breakdown of VAT receipts by tax rate are not available and consequently the figures provided are estimates.
