Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 23 May 2013
46. Deputy Michael McGrath asked the Minister for Finance if he will set out in tabular form the gross amount of corporation tax paid in each year from 2008 to 2012 by the top 10 multinational firms as measured by corporation tax paid; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24960/13]
View answerI am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the amount of corporation tax paid by the top 10 multinational companies (as measured by corporation tax paid) is per the following table. The table includes the gross amounts paid in corporation tax for each year and the net corporation tax paid for each year. The difference could be for a number of reasons e.g. if a company overestimates its preliminary tax, a repayment may be due when the return is filed and the actual figures are available.
