Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform

Draft Heads of Finance (Tax Appeals Commission) Bill: Discussion

2:00 pm

Mr. Gary Tobin:

My understanding, and I am open to my Revenue colleagues correcting me, is that the grounds for an appeal to the High Court on a point of law in tax appeals cases, which I accept involves a significant cost, tend to be quite broad. It does not just apply to a very narrow and explicit point of law.
