I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the number of registered companies is included in the Annual Reports of the Revenue Commissioners table titled Volume of Business which is available on the Revenue Commissioners website. This table shows the number of companies for each year since 2001. This information was not published for years prior to 2001. It should be noted that this information reflects the total number of companies on record for the year irrespective of whether the company is trading and therefore obliged to file a Corporation Tax return for the year.

The following tables below show, by range of tax liability, the number of companies with a Corporation Tax return filed for each relevant tax year with a liability to Corporation Tax for the year and those without a liability to Corporation Tax for the year (including those with refunds and the associated amount of net Corporation Tax liability) for the tax years 2000 to 2007. The refund amounts shown relate mainly to repayable withholding taxes on fees.
