Mr. Niall Cody:

We publish a detailed breakdown of corporation tax showing losses, capital allowances and so forth every year. If Members of the Oireachtas put in parliamentary questions about statistics, we always give the link to our statistics site, which has a comprehensive breakdown of all the different levels. This year we published an analysis of corporation tax receipts in 2014 and 2015, against the background of the spike in 2015. It shows all the detail, including on the research and development tax credit, losses and the payment of other taxes by corporate tax sectors. We are committed to issuing the same report in April 2017 giving the figures for this year. One of the things we have tried to do is to put out as much understandable information as we can, having regard to taxpayer confidentiality. That aids the discussion on corporation tax, which is not simple.
