It is nice to see Ms Feehily in again to discuss these matters. The use of the term "voluntary compliance" strikes me as odd and misleading in circumstances in which the Revenue Commissioners has set out clearly that non-compliance will meet with deductions from wages, social welfare payments or bank accounts. I note the reports in the media which suggest that the Revenue Commissioners intends, for the purposes of making these deductions on the basis of non-compliance, to go after PAYE workers first, then occupational pensions, followed by social welfare pensions and then the self-employed, once they file their annual returns in October. Is that how the Revenue Commissioners proposes to proceed?
