10 companies and Irish Fiscal Advisory Council

[Deleted User] · 2015-11-27 11:29:18

I caught this very quickly on the RTE news last night, one of the statistics presented was that 10 companies pay most of the cooperation tax in Ireland. I know there is always an agenda with every organisation, but is that really the risk to the economy that it sounds?

Corporation tax comprises about 11% of the tax take, so about 3% of the tax take in total.
