DUBLIN, April 4 (Reuters) - Ireland is set to collect
more than the 22.7 billion euros ($24.9 billion) of corporate
tax forecast for this year, provided there are no shocks to the
economy, the finance ministry's chief economist said on
Wednesday.
Ireland collected 15% more tax in the first quarter than the
record levels received in the same period in 2022, data from the
finance department showed on Wednesday, thanks in particular to
another surge in corporate tax receipts.
"Whether we will over-achieve on the 22.7 (billion) in the
absence of any shock to the economy, the answer is yes," John
McCarthy told a news conference.
