Question 206: To ask the Minister for Finance the number of companies paying corporation tax in each year since 1997; and the amount received, distinguishing between the 10% rate and the standard rate. [23408/05]

The number of companies which indicated on their tax return forms that they were liable to pay corporation tax for each of the years from 1997 to 2003, is set out below. Data can be derived from corporation tax returns on the amount of corporation tax liability attributable to companies taxed wholly or partly at the reduced rate of 10%. The latest information available, which is for accounting periods ending between 1 April 1997 and 31 December 2003, is as set out in the following table.

The figures shown as the corporation tax liability of companies qualifying for the 10% relief reflect the total tax liability of these companies on all of their profits, including those profits taxed at other rates. It is not possible to isolate the tax attributable solely to the effective 10% rate in such cases because certain reliefs relating to income liable for tax at both the standard and reduced rates are set off against the overall tax liability after the relief at 10% has been computed.
