I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that it is not possible to accurately estimate from data held by Revenue the yield of a financial transactions tax.  The Deputy may be interested to note, however, that the yield from the Irish stamp duty of 1% on transactions in shares, stocks and marketable securities was €420.7m in 2018 and €425.3m in 2017.
