Public Accounts Committee

2019 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 10 - Tax Appeals Commission
Chapter 14 - Management of Tax Appeals

Ms Marie-Claire Maney:

I have had two meetings with the Criminal Assets Bureau. The bureau representatives asked me to look at their appeals in the system. We have heard almost all those appeals or certainly moved them on as far as the parties can move them on. Mr. O'Keeffe can correct me on the details but at the last count, there were 46 appeals. I am unsure of the current position.

There has been huge engagement with the Criminal Assets Bureau. At my most recent engagement with people working in the Criminal Assets Bureau, they informed me that there has been a very good unintended consequence of us moving the cases through the system in that the parties are much more willing to engage with them and settle quicker because the cases are going through at a faster pace with their sales. They are a particular category of cases-----
