68. To ask the Minister for Finance as stamp duty is €51 million ahead of profile for the year so far, and €17 million in June alone if he will outline where this buoyancy arises; and if he will provide a breakdown of where the increased stamp duty is accruing to the Exchequer; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The end-June 2014 Exchequer returns confirmed that stamp duties recorded a surplus over profile in the month of June of €17 million. In terms of the cumulative target, stamp duties were up €51 million. The performance of stamp duties has been reasonably strong across a number subheads. In terms of cumulative receipts, property receipts are up about €35 million, shares are up €18 million and others are up €3 million in broad terms. 

It should be noted that figures provided above are on a Revenue net receipts basis. While not directly comparable with Exchequer Receipts, these figures are illustrative.
