I am informed by Revenue that the number of companies and the total Corporation Tax, Value Added Tax (VAT) and Income Tax payments by the aircraft leasing industry for the years requested are as shown in the first table.
The second table shows the total trading capital allowances claimed, but not necessarily all used in the year, on the Corporation Tax returns filed for each tax year. The capital allowances claimed by these companies for 2015 are not shown as the returns for that year have only recently been filed and have not yet been analysed.
I am advised that the figures are based on the industry description (NACE code) assigned to businesses on the Revenue taxpayer register. I am further advised that the amounts of VAT paid (or repaid) cannot be separated out to identify the amounts paid at different rates.
