A 12.6% increase in the tax collected until the end of August.

Ardú 12.6 faoin gcéad ar an gcáin atá bailithe go deireadh Lúnasa.

There has been a 12.6% increase in the amount of tax collected by the State in the first 8 months of the year compared to the same period in 2023.

Ardú 12.6 faoin gcéad atá tagtha ar an méid cánach a bhailigh an Stát sna chéad 8 mí den bhliain i gcomparáid leis an tréimhse chéanna i 2023.

The latest information from the Department of Finance shows that the increase is based on an increase in income tax, corporation tax, VAT and stamp duty.

Taispeánann an fhaisnéis is deireanaí ón Roinn Airgeadais gur ar bhreis cháin ioncaim, cáin chorparáideach, CBL agus dleacht stampa atá an t-ardú bunaithe.

The total tax collected up to the end of August was €59.8bn, of which €16.3bn was corporate tax, an increase of 28.4% on the same period last year.

€59.8bn an cháin iomlán a bailíodh go deireadh Lúnasa, agus is cáin chorparáideach €16.3bn de sin ardú 28.4 faoin gcéad ar an tréimhse chéanna anuraidh.

The VAT collected up to the end of August is €14.5bn, a 7.5% increase on the same period last year.

Is ionann €14.5bn agus an CBL a bailíodh go deireadh Lúnasa, ardú 7.5 faoin gcéad ar an tréimhse chéanna anuraidh.

Excise revenue is €4.1bn, a 14% increase on 2023.

€4.1bn é an t-ioncam ó mháil, ardú 14 faoin gcéad ar 2023.

So far this year, the Exchequer has a surplus of €3.8bn, compared to debts of €0.3bn last year, a difference of €4.1bn.

Go dtí seo, tá farasbarr €3.8bn ag an Státchiste go dtí seo i mbliana, i gcomparáid le fiacha €0.3bn anuraidh, difríocht de €4.1bn.

But this is not likely to be the final figure, because during 2023 €4bn was transferred to the National Reserve Fund, and if this happens again this year, the surplus may be less than that.

Ach ní hé seo seans an figiúr deiridh, mar i rith 2023 aistríodh €4bn chuig an Cúl-Chiste Náisiúnta, agus má dhéantar a leithéid arís i mbliana, is feidir go mbeidh an farasbarr níos lú ná sin.

Today’s figures also showed that the State spent €69.1bn to the end of August.

Thaispeáin figiúirí an lae inniu freisin gur chaith an Stát €69.1bn go deireadh Lúnasa.
