I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the available information on the yield from 2000 to date in 2012 from stamp duty on transfers of residential properties is set out in the following table.

Year

2012 (to end July)
29 (Provisional)

It should be noted that 2001 was the first year for which stamp duty yield from property transfers could be broken down reasonably accurately between residential and non-residential property. The figure given for 2000 is an estimate.
