I propose to take Questions Nos. 202 to 204, inclusive, together.
As with all tax receipts, corporation tax revenues are received into the Central Fund. Issues from the Central Fund are used to fund the day-to-day running of the State and as such it is not generally possible to directly link a specific tax head to specific expenditure.
However, as the Deputy will be aware, in the Summer Economic Statement 2023 it was announced that €2¼ billion in windfall corporate tax receipts (i.e. estimates of corporate tax revenues that are not linked to the domestic economy) would be made available to support the delivery of capital infrastructure projects over the period 2024 to 2026. This approach makes use of these potentially transient revenues to build long-lasting improvements to our economy and society. The specific allocation of such funding is a matter for my colleague the Minister for Public Expenditure, NDP Delivery and Reform.
The tax revenue outturn for each year from 2010 to date (end-September 2023) is available at the Department of Finance’s databank at databank.finance.gov.ie/. This data is reproduced below for the Deputy’s convenience.
