Gross Government debt fell by €5.7bn last year, leaving the total money owed at €209.9bn, new data from the Central Statistics Office (CSO) shows. Tax revenue for the first two months of the year stood at €13.6bn, of which €900m was corporation tax. while total gross exchequer revenue stood at €18.6bn. However, corporation tax receipts are expected to increase over the course of 2026 as Pillar 2 tax reforms come into full effect. Given the high number of multinational firms with operations here, corporation tax receipts are expected to be higher this year.
