Database Specific
Database Specific Abstract AbstractThe OECD Tax Statistics: Revenue Statistics - Data on government sector receipts, and on taxes in particular, are basic inputs to most structural economic descriptions and economic analyses and are increasingly used in international comparisons. These databases give a conceptual framework to define which government receipts should be regarded as taxes and to classify different types of taxes. They present a unique set of detailed and internationally comparable tax data in a common format for all OECD countries from 1955 onwards.
This dataset contains tax revenue collected by Ireland. It provides detailed tax revenues by sector (Supranational, Federal or Central Government, State or Lander Government, Local Government, and Social Security Funds) and by specific tax, such as capital gains, profits and income, property, sales, etc.

Heading 1200: Capital gains taxes paid by corporations are included in heading 1210.
Heading 2100: Includes contributions by self-employed and certain voluntary contributions.
Heading 2200: Since 1976 income tax paid by corporations and corporation profits tax have been replaced by corporation tax.
Heading 5111: Includes arrears of the wholesale and turnover taxes.
Tax receipts in 1988 were inflated by the success of the new arrangements for assessment and collection of tax. These arrangements included an amnesty for tax arrears paid by 30th September. This amnesty waived penalities and interest charge tax. It resulted in payments of 631 millons of euros spread across the main tax headings.
