It is a process and it is being looked at.

I am quite surprised by the VAT issue. The agency was operational for two and a half years when the Revenue notified it that it was not to charge VAT. I find that a bit strange. My own dealings with the Revenue Commissioners led me to believe that if I did something wrong, I would know within a week or two at the most. That was back when I was in business. The agency got away with it for two years. I know it was simply complying with that it thought was the appropriate tax code.
