The Department of Finance has estimated the State will have a general government surplus of between €23 billion and €24 billion this year.
The figures will also be boosted by Apple's back tax of about €14bn which will be booked into the accounts for 2024.
The larger than expected figures are also driven by bigger than expected corporation tax receipts.
The Department of Finance had expected the corporation tax figure would be €24.5bn for 2024 but it will now be between €29bn to €30bn.
