Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 November 2017
120. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Finance the amount of profit reported and the amount of corporation tax paid by the top 50 Irish builders over the past 25 to 30 years; and the way in which that compares to reported revenues by the 50 Irish builders over the past 25 to 30 years. [50235/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by Revenue that what is available is the amount of taxable profits and associated Corporation Tax liability for the top 50 companies in the construction sector for the most recent ten years. Information for earlier years is not retained in Revenue records in a format that facilitates similar analysis. The top 50 companies are selected on the basis of the companies with largest amounts of taxable profits and income as returned on Corporation Tax returns for these years. This information is shown in the table.
