25 October 2005	Finance	Tax receipts on land for one-off Housing

Ciarán Cuffe asked the Minister for Finance if he has examined the figures for the construction of one-off houses and compared such figures with the capital gains tax receipts on land that may have been transferred to facilitate such construction; and if so, if he has satisfied himself that there is no inconsistency between the figures.

Minister for Finance (Mr. Cowen): Information on capital gains tax receipts arising on land transferred to facilitate construction of one-off houses is not available. The construction of one-off houses falls within the area of general housing policy and as such is primarily the responsibility of the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government.
