Dáil Éireann Debate, Friday - 16 December 2016
122. Deputy Michael McGrath asked the Minister for Finance the gross amount of corporation tax paid in each year from 2011 to 2015 by the top ten multinational firms as measured by corporation tax paid in tabular form; the proportion this represents of overall corporation tax paid in each year; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [40644/16]
View answerI am informed by Revenue that the net Corporation Tax receipts by the top ten companies in each year are as shown in the following table. Also shown is the corresponding proportion this represents of overall Corporation Tax paid. I am advised that information on gross Corporation Tax payments is not readily available but earlier analysis by Revenue shows the share of receipts on a gross basis from the largest ten companies is similar to the net figures provided. I am further advised that the top ten companies are all multinationals.
