Ms Josephine Feehily:
Because of the compliance rate we have norms for areas, and the further somebody is out from the norms for the area, the more likely we are to begin with those. Taking a risk-based approach to compliance suggests that one starts with the bigger outliers. Our message to people in that position is that they can self-correct online now, without incurring any penalties, without interest, if they do it by the end of March.
