Following further clarification in correspondence with the Deputy’s office, it is my understanding that the Deputy is seeking information in respect of capital allowances for intangible assets.

I am advised by Revenue that the available information on companies claiming the highest amounts of capital allowances in respect of intangible assets in 2015 and 2016 is contained in the table below. It is not possible to provide the full detail requested in respect of the top 5 highest claimant companies due to Revenue’s obligation to protect the confidentiality of taxpayer information.
