Public Accounts Committee: Comptroller and Auditor General 2016 Report
Chapter 20: Corporation Tax Receipts (30 Nov 2017)

Seán Fleming: Mr. Cody can understand this simple question. When we discuss multinationals, we always seem to think of foreign direct investment, FDI. Irish is now a net investor abroad.

Public Accounts Committee: Comptroller and Auditor General 2016 Report
Chapter 20: Corporation Tax Receipts (30 Nov 2017)

Seán Fleming: Some day, we should have an equivalent discussion about Irish companies. As Mr. Cody mentioned, most of the companies in the top 100 are foreign direct investors into Ireland. We have a chapter on corporation tax. I do not see the other half of the chapter, which should deal with the large Irish multinationals that are presumably resident in Ireland. At least, I hope they are resident...

Chapter 20: Corporation Tax Receipts (30 Nov 2017)

Seán Fleming: Without mentioning names, Mr. Cody might be able to tell us how many of those would be traditional Irish companies. I am sure that he has this information at the top of the list back in the office. It should not be a problem. It helps to balance the debate. Everyone believes that we are just referring to foreign multinationals.

Chapter 20: Corporation Tax Receipts (30 Nov 2017)

Seán Fleming: Mr. Cody would not do it. I am just saying it so that he does not have to. Will Mr. Cody provide a breakdown of the report, An Analysis of 2015 Corporation Tax Returns and 2016 Payments? Revenue seems to have a great man in the form of Mr. Paul Tancred. Page 18 shows a diagram. Mr. Cody might have some information on this, although my question does not specifically relate to today's...

Chapter 20: Corporation Tax Receipts (30 Nov 2017)

Seán Fleming: We are having a national debate on regional development, so it would be interesting to find out on a regional basis what percentage of total employment in a county is provided by foreign-owned multinationals or other companies. It would be a useful statistic.

Chapter 20: Corporation Tax Receipts (30 Nov 2017)

Seán Fleming: I want to wrap up the meeting. We are not disposing of the chapter today because we are meeting with some multinationals. We will do so in due course. The witnesses' evidence has been very good, useful and helpful. We remarked that the amount of information they will have to send on to us after today is much less than after many other meetings when other groups have come before us. The...
