I am informed by Revenue that the net Corporation Tax receipts by the top 10 companies in each year is as shown in the following table. Also shown is the corresponding proportion this represents of overall Corporation Tax paid. I am advised that information on gross Corporation Tax payments is not readily available but earlier analysis by Revenue shows the share of receipts on a gross basis from the largest ten companies is similar to the net figures provided. I am further advised that the top 10 companies are all multinationals.
