Revenue from taxing children's allowances

Summary

Kelly asked how much revenue taxation of children's allowances would raise. The Minister said the figure was available but could not give the current-year amount offhand.

Have the Department calculated the amount of revenue that would be raised by the inclusion of children's allowances for taxation purposes?

That is a separate question.

Since the matter was referred to in the Green Paper, presumably some calculation has been made.

I understand that that figure is available, that it has been available each year for some time past.

I could not say offhand.
