I thank the witnesses for attending and thank Mr. Cody for his presentation. In true Revenue style, Mr. Cody answered in his own brief words several of the obvious questions which arise and I may well be briefer than the 20 minutes.
How did Revenue become aware of the existence of a tax planning strategy specific to consultants? Was it a tip off or does Revenue have a network of intelligence in place that informs it of this type of information?
