Ms Josephine Feehily:
SMEs would not be correct in thinking they are more likely to be targeted. The large cases division has only about 800 cases. They have disproportionately more of our highly skilled personnel and at higher grades than our staff in the regions. We have skewed our resources heavily because we start from the premise of tax at risk. The large cases division is responsible for 80% of the tax collected, including PAYE, fiduciary and so on.
