163. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Finance further to Parliamentary Question Number 207 of 1 December 2015, the number of companies which paid €5,000.0001 to €7,500,000, €7,500,001 to €10,000,000, €10,000,001 to €15,000,000, €15,000,001 to €20,000,000, €20,000,001 to €30,000,000, €30,000,001 to €40,000,000, €40,000,001 to €50,000,000 and €50,000,000 plus, and the total amount paid in each band, in corporation tax, in tabular form. [43940/15]
View answerI am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the number of companies who paid over €5 million in Corporation Tax in certain payment bands is as set out in the following table. As the Revenue Commissioners have an obligation to observe confidentiality in respect of taxpayers' information, and arising from the small numbers of taxpayers involved in certain payment bands requested by the Deputy, some bands requested have been merged.
