Chapter 9 - Internal Controls in the Tax Appeals Commission
Vote 10 - Tax Appeals Commission

Mr. Mark O'Mahony:
There is one other point. The Revenue Commissioners have their own internal reviews and external reviews, and that is something that we are actively trying to make taxpayers aware of. There are a lot of cases where this is more appropriate. To put it in context, in 2016, when we got our 901 appeals, there were 13 internal and external reviews to the Revenue Commissioners. They are significantly better resourced that we are. We believe that this is an avenue which is more appropriate for some taxpayers and it is one that we are trying to educate taxpayers about and trying to encourage the use of that mechanism.
