This paper aims answer the question what is the revenue--maximizing rate of corporate income tax. Before analysis the literature of Laffer curve criticism and conversly literature of Laffer curve applications is summarized. In paper the relationship of tax rates and tax revenues is examined for Czech republic in time period from 1993 to 2009 and for Ireland in time period from 1981 to 2009 by regression analysis. Analysis showed the relationship described by Laffer theory. Revenue--maximizing tax rates reach values of 27,66% for Czech Republic and 25,1% for Ireland. Because the current statutory corporate tax rates are in both countries lower than calculated Laffer points, further reduction in tax rates will result in decline in tax revenues.
