Pearse Doherty TD asked the Minister for Finance: Tax Yield

In a session on the 18th of June, Pearse Doherty TD of Donegal raised a question in the Dáil to Tánaiste and Minister for Finance regarding the fiscal impact of non‑trading corporation tax. Mr Doherty asked that the Minister provide a detailed table showing, for each year since 2018, the total amount of profits subject to non‑trading corporation tax, the corresponding corporation tax revenue collected on those profits, and the effective tax rate applied to non‑trading income.

The question was prompted by growing interest in how corporate tax policy affects local economies across Ireland, including Donegal. Mr Doherty’s request seeks transparency about the extent of tax contributions from companies that do not engage in trading activities but still generate taxable profits. By requesting a tabular presentation, he aims to clarify the fiscal burden borne by non‑trading entities and how it has evolved over recent years.

The Minister was asked to supply this information in a clear format so that constituents can assess whether current tax rates are equitable and reflect the economic realities of businesses operating outside traditional trading models. The response will provide insight into the broader discussion about corporate taxation and its implications for local communities such as those in County Donegal.
