Investigations by Revenue into Authorised Officers Report

1:10 pm

Ms Josephine Feehily:

Not necessarily. If the information is already known to us and has already been managed, handled or engaged with, there is nothing to add. If the information given to us is confirmed in the person's tax return, there is nothing for us to do. The first thing in respect of any information that comes to us from anywhere is that the person looking at it looks at the tax return and looks for a mismatch. If there is no mismatch, there is nothing to do.
