I propose to take Questions Nos. 100 to 102, inclusive, together.

In relation to the first question, I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that data relating to the estimated yields for each 1% increase in the Capital Acquisitions Tax rate are available on the Revenue website at . Specifically, the information which the Deputy seeks can be found in the CAT Ready Reckoner available from .

In relation to the other questions, I am advised that the estimated yields from reducing the CAT agricultural relief and CAT business relief are also available from the Revenue Commissioners' Ready Reckoner at .

These estimates do not attempt to model behavioural effects of the policy changes.
