One has to acknowledge that there are a percentage of people who are willing to pay the tax and who are tax compliant in everything they ever did and are now confronted with having to pay this new tax online and are simply not able to do it. I have met a number of those people. They want their estimate. They have the money to pay and are willing to pay and the system should respond. There is a small number of people in this category. Those I have dealt with are mainly elderly people who have always conducted their affairs in a legitimate way but paid by cash. I am not trying to facilitate some other activity in the economy, I am trying to explore a way in which the Revenue will assist them to make their payment.
