Chapter 11: VAT on Intra-Community Trade (9 May 2013) Seán Fleming: Ms Feehily should ensure it answers the question to her satisfaction, and what is put in the VIES returns should reconcile with the audited financial statements. The €200 million is a theoretical figure and I do not know the breakdown between the VAT rate on goods versus services. Nevertheless, it is a figure that demonstrates a risk. The annual report published last week mentioned...

Chapter 11: VAT on Intra-Community Trade (9 May 2013) Seán Fleming: That brings us to the carousel or the missing trader fraud issue. A company could be set up and be very active, but it is gone when the time comes to chase it. The Comptroller and Auditor General's report refers to missing trader fraud. Paragraph 11.44 on page 165 states the Revenue Commissioners have not tried to estimate the scale of missing trader or carousel fraud in Ireland or the...

Chapter 11: VAT on Intra-Community Trade (9 May 2013) Seán Fleming: What checks are carried out on outstanding balances? One of the Sunday newspapers produces a list of judgments every week and those who buy that newspaper can see them. The Collector General is often listed as the person obtaining the judgment. I have seen the names and addresses of companies in the midlands - I am not talking about my county - against which the Revenue Commissioners had...

Chapter 11: VAT on Intra-Community Trade (9 May 2013) Seán Fleming: Revenue has improved its communication links with the Department of Social Protection.
