The IDA has reported the strongest ever investment approvals for the 6-month period to June 2022 with investments up 9% on 2021, which equates to 18,000 new jobs. This is mirrored by a strong corporate tax take, with the receipts year to date standing at €11.8 billion, 68.5% ahead of 2021, which was a very strong year in itself. August 2022 corporate tax receipts hit €2.8bn, comparing with receipts of just over €1bn in August 2021, further indication of strong results in the multinational sector.
It is important to remember, however, that our corporate tax receipts are concentrated on a small number of multinational firms. Approximately 80% of corporate tax receipts along with 30% of income tax receipts are related to foreign multinationals. The economy’s substantial reliance on corporate tax receipts is highlighted in the government’s recent analysis on corporation Tax in ‘De-Risking the Public Finances – Assessing Corporation Tax Receipts’.

What we know is that the Minister for Finance needs to protect our two largest revenue streams; income tax and corporation tax while also tackle the cost of living and energy crises and balance competing demands from housing and climate. Not an easy feat!
