I propose to take Questions Nos. 199 and 200 together.

I am informed by Revenue that the gross rental income (residential and commercial) declared on Income Tax returns is in the order of €4,573 million for 2011, €4,446 million for 2012, €4,301 million for 2013 and €4,322 million for 2014, the latest year for which returns are available. The rental income declared in respect of Corporation Tax is €651 million for 2011, €645 million for 2012, €675 million for 2013 and €683 million for 2014.

Regarding Question No. (Ref: 26993/16), I am advised by Revenue that as rental income is aggregated with all other incomes for the purposes of either Income Tax or Corporation Tax calculations, it is not possible to identify the total tax intake from rental income alone.
