I propose to take Questions Nos. 270 to 272, inclusive, together.

I am advised by Revenue that within the tax code there are a number of tax reliefs associated with property and land but not specifically for use by property developers or land owners.  Statistics in relation to the annual costs since 2008 for the various reliefs are available on the Revenue website at .

Updates to these statistics will be published in due course. Of particular interest to the Deputy are likely to be

- the  statistics in relation to Local Property Tax reliefs which are detailed on the website at ;

- the tax expenditures and reliefs table available at  detailing the cost of  Interest PaidLoans Relating to Principal Private residence,  relief for expenditure on significant buildings and gardens, rent a room;

- property incentives statistics available at ;

- Home Renovation Incentive Scheme  available at .

In addition to the information on the Revenue website, the following tables may also be of interest to the Deputy. The following table sets out the cost of rental capital allowances and is available for the years 2009 to 2014. It should be noted that information is not available for earlier years and will not be available for 2015 until 2017.

The following table sets out available data on the reliefs or exemptions from Capital Acquisitions Tax duty associated with property ownership.  The cost of Spouses and Civil Partners is not shown as the necessary data are not available to provide basis for compiling these costs.  The estimated cost for the Dwelling House exemption does not take account of the availability or otherwise of the relevant thresholds if the exemption did not apply. It should be noted that information is not available for earlier years.

* Contains only half year information due to a changeover in information technology systems.
