The commission is going to be talking to the relevant people in November. I am going to try not to mention the company involved because I am not entirely sure if we are allowed to. The company has advised its shareholders that its representatives will go into talks with Revenue and come to an agreement. That agreement could result in the company paying less than 10% of what it owes. It would be fantastic if we could all do that with our taxes. I would love that. Actually, I would not, as a public official, because we would have nothing to spend on our hospitals and infrastructure. I am trying to understand who is going to go into negotiations with the company in question about paying less than it owes. If it will be Revenue, which I presume it will be, what regard must be given to the decision the TAC will make in November? Does Revenue take advice from the TAC?
