Universal Social Charge (USC) receipts are collected by the Revenue Commissioners as a component of income tax. I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that it is estimated that receipts from the USC amounted to slightly less than €2.3 billion in the first ten months of 2011. This compares to a projected yield of just slightly over €2.3 billion for that period and so receipts were almost exactly in line with expectations.
