In regard to Revenue, the stand-out issue, as far as I can see, is the addition of 80 compliance and international tax staff and the recruitment of full-time staff for local property tax work. I am particularly interested in the issue of international tax and the additional staff that are being recruited there to deal with compliance. Could the Minster provide us with more detail on exactly what those individuals will be working on? Is it related to any specific compliance project that the Revenue is undertaking? Will the HSB issue fall within that ambit?
