I propose to take Questions Nos. 64 to 69, inclusive, together.

I am advised by Revenue that the estimated full year cost of reducing the current Capital Acquisitions Tax (CAT) rate of 33% to 20% on specified amounts over the current Group A threshold amount of €335,000 is shown in the following table.

Specified Amount €50,000 €100,000 €150,000 €200,000 €300,000 €400,000
Annual Cost €12.5m €21.2m €27.6m €32.9m €40.5m €45.7m

The Deputy may also wish to note that the estimated cost of other changes relating to CAT are published in the Revenue Ready Reckoner at link;

70. To ask the Minister for Finance his plans in respect of future changes in the rate of DIRT. [52516/19]

As the Deputy may be aware, the rate of DIRT will be 33 per cent as respects the year of assessment 2020 having been reduced by 2 per cent per annum from 41 per cent in Budget 2017 and Finance Bill 2016.

As is the case with all taxes, any possible future changes to the rate of DIRT are considered in the context of the Budget and Finance Bill processes.
