The net amount of profits on which Corporation Profits Tax was assessed in the year ended 31st March, 1963, was £52,638,000. Of this figure, £47,947,200 was attributable to Irish companies and £4,690,800 to companies managed and controlled abroad. Statistics are not compiled in a manner which would enable the other information requested by the Deputy to be given.
Will the Minister explain why the information is not available now and it was made available in 1955 and 1956?
I could not explain that straight off.
It is produced by the Revenue Commissioners every year before Budget time.
It cannot be produced at the moment.
