Public Accounts Committee

Comptroller and Auditor General 2016 Report
Chapter 20: Corporation Tax Receipts (Resumed)

9:00 am

Mr. Niall Cody:

I can assure the Chairman that whenever there is a significant increase or, more worryingly, a significant reduction in any tax head in any month, we look to see have we any information that can inform the Department. We certainly look to see if there is anything that indicates whether it is going to be continuing or sustaining. Interestingly, if one ignores the outliers or special payments, since 2014 there has been an 18% increase in the ordinary - if one wants to call it that - dividend withholding tax on an ongoing basis.
