I am advised by Revenue that receipts from Stamp Duty on non-residential property in the years 2015 to 2017 are as provided in the table.

In the year to end-December 2018, €661 million was collected by Revenue in property related stamp duty (both residential and non-residential).

The principal aim of the stamp duty increase I announced in Budget 2018 was to help encourage increased home building and to stabilise the Irish property market. I consider that this it has made a positive contribution in this regard, with an increase in new home building seen in 2018, particularly in Dublin, and with house price inflation slowing.
