Tax Code

Richard Boyd Barrett (PBP), Dún Laoghaire

One of the great untold stories of the Irish economy is the fact that over the last 15 years or so, working people were hammered, first with an austerity crisis and more recently a cost-of-living crisis, yet in that period corporate profits increased, for example, by 235% from 2012 to 2021. Some of us campaigned for those corporations to pay more. We now have a 15% rate, something the Government stubbornly resisted for a long time. Does the Minister have projections for how much they are actually going to pay in tax in the next couple of years?
