Paradise Papers: Chairman, Office of the Revenue Commissioners

Mr. Niall Cody:
Tax avoidance is legal, but the Revenue Commissioners will challenge it if we can find flaws in its implementation. One of my colleagues who always speaks about the significant differences in tax evasion and tax avoidance says if there is tax avoidance, the participants should be open to making full information available to the Revenue Commissioners, but that is what usually does not happen.
