181. Deputy Bríd Smith asked the Minister for Finance if a figure (details supplied) in revenue from corporation taxes comes from the four commercial gas fields in Irish waters or from the entire category of mining and utilities sector. [46837/18]
View answer182. Deputy Bríd Smith asked the Minister for Finance the companies and geographic sites involved in the category of mining and utilities sector that are liable to pay corporation tax; and if he will itemise the contribution to the overall figure from each of these companies. [46838/18]
View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 181 and 182 together.
I am informed by Revenue that the net Corporation Tax receipts from the mining and utilities sector overall for the calendar year 2017 was in the region of €45.03 million. Receipts for earlier years are available at: https://www.revenue.ie/en/corporate/information-about-revenue/statistics/receipts/receipts-taxhead.aspx.
Due to Revenue’s obligation to protect the confidentiality of taxpayer information, it is not possible to itemise the contribution from individual gas fields or companies.
