I propose to take Questions Nos. 198 and 199 together.

I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the total identifiable costs to the Exchequer which are currently available relate to income tax and corporation tax allowances, reliefs, exemptions and tax credits. These are shown in Table IT6 on the Revenue Statistical Report for 2011 which is accessible on the Revenue website at www.revenue.ie. The information is located under the main chapter heading of Income Tax and shows the information for the years 2009 and 2010 which are the most recent years for which the necessary detailed historical information is available.

A breakdown of these estimates of costs as specifically requested by the Deputy is not available and could not be provided without undertaking an extensive and costly development of the Revenue tax model.
