I am advised by Revenue that the estimated yield that would be generated by a range of potential changes to the rate of stamp duty chargeable on transfers of non-residential property is published on page 19 of the Ready Reckoner, available on the Revenue website at:

www.revenue.ie/en/corporate/documents/statistics/ready-reckoner.pdf.

While the specific estimate sought by the Deputy is not provided, it can be estimated on a straight-line or pro-rata basis. Ready Reckoner estimates do not take account of any potential change in behaviour by the taxpayers concerned in response to changes in the tax rate.

The Deputy will wish to note that an update of the Ready Reckoner is due to issue in the coming weeks.

I am advised by Revenue that the estimated full year cost of introducing these measures is provided in the table below. The estimates are based on the most recently available price information and do not take account of any behavioural change by either vendors or purchasers. The estimates are also adjusted to account for the right to deduct input VAT on commodities (excluding petrol) by VAT registered businesses.

Note: estimates are rounded to nearest €1 million.
