In relation to question on companies assessed to tax under section 110, I am advised by Revenue that there is no requirement for companies that have submitted a notification to Revenue that the company is a qualifying company for the purposes of section 110 of the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997 to state whether the company is engaged in aircraft leasing on the corporation tax returns submitted by the company. Therefore, Revenue is not in a position to provide the information requested regarding the number of section 110 companies engaged in aircraft leasing.
