Okay. I refer to withholding tax on couriers' expenses. Some Revenue documents refer to withholding tax several times. The deal included a flat-rate expenses allowance for couriers. It was a system exclusively for employees. It is itemised on Revenue's website. Flat-rate expenses allow workers to claim back costs. Nowhere in the 1997 tax deal with representatives of the courier sector is withholding tax mentioned. That system is there to deal with PAYE workers. Is that correct?
