Committee on Budgetary Oversight

Revaluation of Local Property Tax and Commercial Stamp Duty: Revenue Commissioners

4:00 pm

Mr. Keith Walsh:

The Chairman has responded well. We cannot discuss individual cases because of taxpayer confidentiality. As a general comment, there was a significant increase in corporation tax receipts in 2015 and 2016. At the end of November this year, receipts were of the order of €380 million or €390 million, or 5%, ahead of target. Over the course of this month we will see the final figure for the year. Aside from that general comment, I cannot talk about individual cases.
