I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that in relation to Corporation Tax paid by the top groups, data is not yet available for 2017 as the receipts for the calendar year are not yet complete and have not been analysed. The latest available information is in respect of net receipts in 2016.

I am advised that the Corporation Tax paid by the top 10 groups in 2016 is €2,999m while the Corporation Tax paid by the top 20 was €3,738m. This represents respectively 41% and 51% of the overall Corporation Tax paid in 2016.
