With the retrenchment of the big tech companies operating in Ireland and the falling revenue and job losses how fast will the corporation tax receipts hit the government. Companies like Intel especially seem to be in trouble and the turnaround in their fortunes is very rapid. Last year the government received 22 billion euros from corporation tax, thats alot of money. The total social welfare budget for 2023 is 23 billion euros therefore the total corporation tax receipts essentially pays for the entire social welfare budget, where will the government get this money when it is no longer been generated from corporation tax?
