I am talking about all other tax queries, not exclusively tax clearance certificates. I understand a strong online system is in place for tax clearance but the issue is when points of clarification or other issues arise. My experience with the Athlone tax office is that it is quick to respond and could be the flagship for the country in terms of the speed with which it resolves queries. However, I believe the process has slowed down significantly.
