I will refer to the note the witness provided a couple of days ago with further information and an update relating to the Comptroller and Auditor General's report. Dealing with the first recommendation on VAT and inter-company trade, the note states Revenue Commissioners districts have been given a role in following up unmatched VIES data this year. Why has it taken until this year for the districts to be given this task? It was reported as part of the 2011 audit that the witness was conscious of the issue, but she is only starting to deal with it in 2013.
