The Universal Social Charge (property relief surcharge) of 5% is applicable to individuals with income of €100,000 or more, on that part of an individual's taxable income which is sheltered by any of the property or area based incentive reliefs. I am informed by Revenue that the yield for the years 2012 to 2014, the latest year for which returns are available, is as set out in a table.
Year | Number of Persons | Yield €m |
---|---|---|
2012 | 3,387 | 10.7 |
2013 | 3,448 | 11.4 |
2014 | 3,345 | 9 |
