I am advised by Revenue that it cannot disclose the amounts of any tax paid by identified individual taxpayers, including companies, due to its obligation to protect taxpayer confidentiality as provided for by Section 851A of the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997.

However, the aggregate amount of taxes paid by companies operating in the sector in which the Deputy is interested are provided under the “Mining and Utilities” in the ‘Revenue net receipts by Sector’ information available on the Revenue website at:

.

The table below provides information in relation to the amount of corporation tax collected from the “Mining and Utilities” sector from 2011 to 2017. As noted in the figures provided, there is some fluctuation, in both an upward and downward trend, from year to year.
