90. Deputy Gino Kenny asked the Minister for Finance the number of aircraft leasing companies that have obtained a trading treatment for leasing activities; the number that have obtained trading treatment for a single leasing activity; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [34043/16]
View answerI am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that as of September 2016, 2,660 companies were assigned to the primary industry description (NACE code) of renting and leasing of air transport equipment.
As information on the number of leases entered into by air transport equipment leasing companies is not required to be entered on corporation tax returns, it is not possible to provide information on the number of such companies that have entered into a single lease.
