Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform

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

2:00 pm

Mr. Des O'Leary:

We may be at cross purposes on this and I hope I can clarify the point. In all cases, now and under the proposed new system, only the undisputed amount is required to be paid. If a person assesses his or her tax liability as X, that is the amount that must be paid before the case goes to appeal and all the way through the appeals process to the end.
