I am informed by Revenue that the following table sets out the total amounts collected in respect of non-life insurance levy for the years requested by the Deputy.

Section 125 of the Stamp Duties Consolidation Act imposes a levy of 3% on the gross amount received by an insurer in respect of certain non-life insurance premiums. The exceptions are re-insurance, voluntary health insurance, marine, aviation and transit insurance, export credit insurance and certain dental insurance contracts. The 3% levy applies to premiums received on or after 1 June 2009 in respect of offers of insurance or notices of renewal of insurance issued by an insurer on or after 8 April 2009. In relation to notices of renewal or offers of insurance issued prior to 8 April 2009, a 2% levy applies. The amounts collected at the 3 per cent rate are not separately identifiable from those collected at the 2 per cent rate.
