I propose to take Questions Nos. 168 to 170, inclusive, together.

I am advised by Revenue that the estimated number of companies (rounded to the nearest 100) that were involved in aircraft leasing liable to corporation tax is shown below together with the estimated Corporation Tax yield from companies which were involved in aircraft leasing.  

YearNumber of CompaniesNet Receipts of Corporation Tax €m
20184,00054
20173,30040
20162,90061
20152,50034
20142,20023
20131,90029
20121,70036

In relation to question on companies assessed to tax under section 110, I am advised by Revenue that there is no requirement for companies that have submitted a notification to Revenue that the company is a qualifying company for the purposes of section 110 of the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997 to state whether the company is engaged in aircraft leasing on the corporation tax returns submitted by the company.  Therefore, Revenue is not in a position to provide the information requested regarding the number of section 110 companies engaged in aircraft leasing.
