Public Accounts Committee
Comptroller and Auditor General 2016 Report
Chapter 20: Corporation Tax Receipts
9:00 am
Mr. Niall Cody:
The decision of the Commission was on 30 August. There is a four month period, in the normal course, for state aid to be lodged and collected. Our requirement was to calculate. We knew that and we started that process in September 2016. That process is part of the ongoing engagement. That is our responsibility - taking the Commission's decision and then engaging with the company to finalise agreement. It is not just that we assess each year, we must also engage with the Commission.
