There is ongoing exchange of information between Revenue and the Department. More than a year ago we examined the issue of the letters issued to the 115,000 who had various pensions and may have been liable for tax. Some of the cases with longer tails are still working their way through the system. Given the increased level of co-operation between Revenue and the Department in comparing information, is a mechanism in place for the Department to get information on people's property from Revenue to compare with the addresses of those to whom it makes payments? They seem to be co-operating for income tax purposes but will the local property tax information on Revenue's files be examined to find out if individuals in receipt of payments have houses the Department does not know about?
