Further statistical information on the schemes is available on the Revenue website at:
revenue.ie/en/corporate/information-about-revenue/statistics/number-of-taxpayers-and-returns/covid-19-support-schemes-statistics.aspx
Please note that there is a slight variation between the figures listed in the table and those on the link above. This is due to the outcome of various compliance interventions since the data on the website was published. It is expected that Revenue will publish a final EWSS statistical publication in H2 2023.
