I will move on. Mr. Cody stated that most taxpayers were compliant and referred to people within the PAYE system. There is another side to that where people do not claim their entitlements. I compliment Revenue on its myAccount system, which is very good and easy to use. In something of an inducement to apply for a tax refund, it will say whether an individual is due an estimated refund. Does Revenue have an estimate of what people do not claim in a given year? People have to fill in a form and make a claim. They are probably underclaiming medical expenses.
