I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the proportions of Income Tax, Universal Social Charge (USC) and the Income Levy collected for the years 2005 to 2014 and the projected proportion for 2015 and 2016, are set out in the following table. I am also advised that further statistics on total receipts by taxhead are available on the Revenue Statistics website: .

Figures for the Health Levy are not included in the table above as this levy, which was abolished in Budget 2011, did not exceed  1% of Gross Receipts collected for the period in question.

* These are projected Exchequer forecasts and are provisional and may be revised.

** Some receipts have been received under the Income Levy since 2011 but these are not material.
