The figure of 70% plus is the target expected under the budgetary process. Some €50 million in additional taxes was collected last year. Compliance was ahead of what was predicted in the budgetary process. It is expected this will increase this year.
I have two concerns. The predominant issue for us is the people struggling to pay their mortgages. The demographic indicates that the preferred payment in terms of single payment is debit or card. I presume Revenue has in-house legal expertise.
