‘No plans’ to ban Russians from employee tax incentive programme

cost the State €180,000 in 2019, concerning 20 claimants. These claimants were resident in Russia before arriving in the State.Confidentiality

In a written Dáil reply to Patricia Ryan of Sinn Féin on the issue, Mr Donohoe said: “The number of instances where the employer indicated that the relevant employee was a Russian national, for the years 2017 – 2019 cannot be provided due to Revenue’s need to protect confidential taxpayer information, as there are fewer than 10 cases involved in any given year.”

Mr Donohoe confirmed for the year 2018 the cost to the State from 12 previously Russia-based participants was €200,000 and the cost in 2017 was €120,000 from 10 previously Russia-based participants.UkraineShe added: “While we support the abolition of SARP in general we are not calling for specific individuals to be banned from taking part in the scheme, unless they come under current or future sanction.

The cost of the previously Russia-based participants to the exchequer is a small fraction of the overall cost of the SARP programme. Revenue figures show that in 2019,there were 1,574 individuals recorded on 461 SARP Employer Returns and the estimated exchequer cost of SARP in 2019 was €38.2 million.
