I am informed by Revenue that statistics regarding the tax cost and number of claims for the Research and Development tax credit are available on the Revenue Statistics webpage at

.Information for the tax year 2015 is not yet available as tax returns for this year are not due to be returned in many cases until later in 2016.

It is not possible to provide data on the number of jobs created as this information is not required on the tax return.
