A lot of people who had avoided tax and were caught for €50,000 or €100,000 found that charges and penalties doubled the sum. Are the Revenue Commissioners very severe when it comes to interest penalties and surcharges? I know a person who was caught for avoiding a payment of €90,000 but paid more than €200,000 over a period of ten years, which seemed very severe.
