Public Accounts Committee

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

9:00 am

Mr. Niall Cody:

Like income tax, corporation tax is paid based on preliminary tax paid during the year. The corporation tax return is filed in the following year and the computations are finalised. Sometimes there is an inherent refund required because there has been an overpayment. We have gross and net tax receipts which are all published in the accounts.
