I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the full year yield, estimated by reference to 2012 incomes, from imposing a further income levy of 5% on all income that is currently liable to the Universal Social Charge (USC) would be of the order of €920 million. The estimated yield is based on applying a 5% levy to all the income of income earners who earn in excess of €100,000, that is, to the income they earn below €100,000 as well as to the income earned above €100,000.

The figure is an estimate from the Revenue tax-forecasting model using actual data for the year 2010 adjusted as necessary for income and employment trends in the interim. It is, therefore, provisional and likely to be revised.

I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the Domicile Levy was introduced by section 150 of the Finance Act 2010. Returns and payments in respect of the Domicile Levy for any tax year are made in the following year. In 2011, returns and payments in respect of the Domicile Levy for the tax year 2010 (the first year for which the levy applied) were made by 11 persons who paid a total of €1,667,011.

As the Domicile Levy return and payment date for the tax year 2011 is 15 November 2012 (for persons who file their income tax returns using the Revenue Online System (ROS)), it is not possible, at this stage, to provide full details of the number paying the levy or the yield for the tax year 2011.
