Mr. Allen
asked the
Minister for Finance
the returns from the Cork area for VAT for each year from 1987 to 1990.
Minister for Finance (Mr. A. Reynolds):
Precise statistics on the lines requested by the Deputy are not available. However, the overall net VAT receipt for the years in question was as follows:
| Year | £m |
|---|---|
| 1987 | 1,582 |
| 1988 | 1,814 |
| 1989 | 1,935 |
| 1990 | 1,978 |
On the basis of sample 1990 figures, it is estimated that the Cork district accounted for about 9 per cent of the gross internal VAT. If this percentage is applied to the above figures, the result may be taken as a broad indicator of the portion of total VAT yield which relates to the Cork area.
