There will be some craic with this levy in the Border counties. Figuring out who will pay it is going to be a nightmare. For example, the houses of the families affected by the Mica scandal are all self-builds, so they will have to act like contractors and do all of the work themselves. They will now have to register with Revenue, obtain a personal identification number and calculate the value of the poured concrete that went into their footpath, foundations and everything that they do around the house. I refer here to them accounting for every block that is laid, including for a garden wall or house, and calculating the value that they must pay to Revenue. Do the officials not think that these families have enough on their plates?
