I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that identifying figures of tax receipts from small and medium enterprises would depend on how these enterprises are defined and whether the details of such a definition could be associated with the appropriate data on Revenue tax records.

The relevant figures in this area that are currently available to Revenue are as contained in Table CTS 1 in the Statistical Report of the Revenue Commissioners for 2008 in respect of 2007, the latest year for which such figures are available. This information can be found on the Revenue website at www.revenue.ie. Table CTS 1 shows that for accounting periods ended in 2007 companies with a net trading income of €500,000 or under, which represented approximately 54,000 taxpaying companies out of a total of 59,000 cases, contributed approximately €700 million of the total Corporation Tax liability of €6.3 billion. By contrast, 574 firms with a net trading income of over €10 million contributed approximately €4.5 billion.
