240. Deputy Derek Nolan asked the Minister for Finance if he will provide, in tabular form, for each of the past ten years, the amount of tax revenue accrued by the Exchequer from corporation tax and, separately, that portion of corporation tax which accrued as a result of tax laws allowing Irish resident companies be non-resident for tax purposes; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23143/15]

Published statistics regarding receipts of corporation tax over the past 10 years are available on the Revenue website at http://www.revenue.ie/en/about/statistics/net-receipts.pdf.

Regarding the proportion of corporation tax that is attributable to Irish resident or incorporated companies that were non-resident for tax purposes, I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that as these are companies that are not currently within the scope of Irish taxation unless they are carrying on a trade in the State through a branch or agency, data on the number of companies involved, or the corporation tax paid by such companies that are trading in the State through a branch of agency, is not available.
