I am advised by Revenue that a Ready Reckoner providing estimated impacts for potential changes to a wide range of taxes and duties is available at www.revenue.ie/en/corporate/documents/statistics/ready-reckoner.pdf.

Regarding your question on stamp duty, the Ready Reckoner provides the estimated impact of increasing the rate of Stamp Duty on the excess of considerations on residential properties over €1 million to 3% on page 19.
