I am advised by Revenue that its primary method of classifying businesses is the European standard NACE code.
I am further advised that the majority of the businesses referred to by the Deputy are included in the ‘financial and insurance activities’ NACE sector. The tax paid by businesses in this sector is available at the following link: https://www.revenue.ie/en/corporate/information-about-revenue/statistics/receipts/receipts-sector.aspx.
