I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the most recent relevant information available relates to corporation tax returns submitted for accounting periods ending in 2003. An estimated breakdown of the figures for corporation tax returns on a geographical basis is available on the basis of bailiwick, meaning the jurisdiction or boundaries within which Revenue sheriffs, county registrars or their officers operate for the purposes of enforcement of tax debt. It equates geographically with counties.

Companies are associated on the tax record with the county address of the head office or branch with which contact is established for tax purposes, which may be different to the city or county addresses of other branches. The number of companies with corporation tax returns submitted for 2003 for the Donegal bailiwick was almost 2,200. These companies are liable to corporation tax on their taxable profits.
