There were 303 tax offence cases in Louth per 100,000 of population between 2002 and 2014, according to new figures from the RTÉ Investigation unit.
In that 13 year period there were 373 convictions.
In both cases this is around the middle of the table when compared to other counties.
County Roscommon had the highest rate of convictions by far, where the number of cases per 100,000 of population was 671. That was almost ten times higher than the lowest in Kilkenny, where the rate was just 68 per 100,000.
High rates were recorded across the North West and Midlands where Longford, Leitrim, Offaly, and Donegal joined Roscommon to make up the top five.
There were more than 11,000 convictions in total across the thirteen years of figures that we analysed.
Dublin, chiefly because of its massive share of the national population, registered the highest number with a total of 2,533 cases while Kilkenny was lowest with just 65.
The county with the next highest number of cases after Dublin was not one of the major urban centres as might have been expected but Donegal, where there were 864 cases.
