I am advised by Revenue that the estimated tax cost of claims under the ‘Student Accommodation Scheme’ for the years 2004 to 2010 and 2019 to 2021 are as set out in the tables below.
| Year | Cost €m |
|---|---|
| 2004 | 83.8 |
| 2005 | 58 |
| 2006 | 64.3 |
| 2007 | 42 |
| 2008 | 23.5 |
| 2009 | 19.1 |
| 2010 | 19.2 |
| Year | Cost €m |
|---|---|
| 2019 | 6.4 |
| 2020 | 5.4 |
