Deputy Barry Heneghan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Finance the corporation tax receipts paid by the largest corporate groups to the Exchequer, by ranking band, sector and ownership type where available; if he will provide this information on an anonymised basis where taxpayer confidentiality prevents the identification of individual companies, in each of the years from 2021 to date in 2026, in tabular form [34490/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 462 and 463 together.
I am advised by Revenue that, due to its obligation to maintain taxpayer confidentiality, as provided for in Section 851A of the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997, and to uphold its Statistical Disclosure Control Protocol, several of the Deputy’s requested statistics cannot be provided. Revenue only provide data in relation to groupings of 10 or more taxpayers. More information on Revenue’s Statistical Disclosure Controls can be found on the Revenue website at: https://www.revenue.ie/en/corporate/information-about-revenue/statistics/about/statistical-disclosure-control.aspx
However, to increase transparency of the tax system and to support the understanding and development of tax administration and tax policy, Revenue publishes a wide variety of statistical reports on its website.
The latest publication on Corporation Tax “Corporation Tax – 2025 Payments and 2024 Returns” was published on 7 May 2026 and is available on the Revenue website at: https://www.revenue.ie/en/corporate/information-about-revenue/statistics/corporation-tax/research-reports/index.aspx.
This publication contains detailed statistics in respect of the largest corporation taxpayers, including the Top 10 companies and the Top 10 groups, as well as sectoral, ownership and tax band breakdowns for all companies.
