Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform
Draft Heads of Finance (Tax Appeals Commission) Bill: Discussion (Resumed)
2:30 pm
Mr. John O'Callaghan:
Before I came here, about two hours ago, I was looking at a pile of papers and asking one of our executive officers what it was. She said it was a group tax avoidance scheme in which a particular firm of accountants is involved, which has about 70 people in it. I have no idea how much tax is involved. It might be €70 million for all I know. We have not got the full submissions yet. We do not list the actual total of tax assessed when we are summarising the cases. I do not know the answer to the Deputy's question.
