To ask the Minister for Finance if he will provide a breakdown of the €250,384,000 of Customs receipts as listed in the December Exchequer Statement; if all of that is remitted to the EU; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1925/13]

It is not possible to provide a breakdown of the customs receipts of €250,384,000 as listed in the December Exchequer statement. Customs are considered an Own Resource of the European Union. Approximately 25% of the customs receipts are retained by the relevant Member State as a "payment" for the collection cost with the balance paid to the EU to fund the EU budget.

To ask the Minister for Finance if he will provide a breakdown in tabular form of the specific source such as residential property, commercial property etcetera, of the €1,428 billion yield of stamps as listed in the December Exchequer Statement; if he will provide that along with the individual yields from 2011; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The only available breakdown of Stamp Duty Receipts is on a Revenue Net Receipts basis, rather than on an Exchequer Receipts basis. These can differ slightly from Exchequer Receipts for reasons of accounting and timing. I ask the Deputy to note the figures are provisional and subject to revision.
