I want to raise the issue of the surge in corporate tax returns at the end of October. The Minister will be aware that the income tax and VAT returns were a little below expectations but the corporate tax returns were far above. Can we have an explanation from the Minister for the over-performance of corporate tax? Can the Minister tell us whether this comes from the multinational sector or whether it is the result of one-off returns or trading activity?
