I have two further questions on the small and medium-sized enterprise sector. I will take the case of a company or individual who encounters a difficulty with taxes and subsequently enters into an agreement with Revenue to pay the taxes. I refer to people who are generally compliant but hit a blip because of the state of the economy. If they take an up-front approach and ask Revenue if they can pay their taxes over a period and arrive at an arrangement with it to this effect, is it its policy to write to the customers of the business in question stating it has entered into an arrangement with the company under which it will pay its taxes over a period?
