Not paying the Revenue Commissioners the moneys owed to it is about as serious an issue as can possibly be imagined. Any businesses watching will be aware that the impact on businesses that do not pay the Revenue Commissioners is unbelievably serious. What is the impact when an issue emerges? I take the Comptroller and Auditor General's point on the complexity involved in the particular type of tax that was not paid to the Revenue Commissioners, but what actions do the Revenue Commissioners take against either the NSSO or the Department when underpaid?
