In respect of Question 28957/17, I am informed by Revenue that they are in the process of enhancing their data in respect of the share of Corporation Tax associated with both foreign owned and Irish owned multinational companies. When completed over the coming months, this exercise should improve the accuracy of data produced in respect of multinational tax. Detailed information on this is not presently available. However, the Deputy may wish to note that the enhancements to date indicate that the share of Corporation Tax receipts for the years in question is generally around 80 per cent for foreign owned multinational companies.
