I assume that the Question relates to the annual Exchequer cost of the Research and Development (R&D) tax credit.

I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the information is as follows: 

Published statistics in respect of the R&D tax credit are available on the Revenue Statistics webpage at .

The tax cost for 2014 has not yet been finalised as returns are currently being processed. Figures for 2015 or forecasts for later years are not yet available.
