- Public Accounts Committee: 2011 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Chapter 11: VAT on Intra-Community Trade (9 May 2013) Seán Fleming: I understand that.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2011 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Chapter 11: VAT on Intra-Community Trade (9 May 2013) Seán Fleming: We understand that. However, this is a shock to me. Perhaps I did not see what was happening, but I understood the value set on the house would not change.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2011 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Chapter 11: VAT on Intra-Community Trade (9 May 2013) Seán Fleming: Everyone assumed that once the value set on the house did not change, the payment would not change. However, Ms Feehily is now telling me that is not the case - that the value on the house can remain the same, but the charge based on the valuation can change if local authorities notify the Revenue Commissioners by September of next year.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2011 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Chapter 11: VAT on Intra-Community Trade (9 May 2013) Seán Fleming: So local authorities can, by September of next year, inform the Revenue Commissioners that although the house values may stay the same, the rate applicable to the values may increase by 15%. In effect, the amount the householder will have to pay can rise by 15%, if the Revenue Commissioners are notified by the local authority to that effect.

- Public Accounts Committee: 2011 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Chapter 11: VAT on Intra-Community Trade (9 May 2013) Seán Fleming: Does that allow the Revenue Commissioners the authority to change the payment being taken from the person's bank account by up to 15% if the local authority informs it the rate has been changed?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2011 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Chapter 11: VAT on Intra-Community Trade (9 May 2013) Seán Fleming: Two things surprise me about that. The rate of the person who carries out the deduction from the State old age pension can very even if the value of the house does not change or if the local authority changes the rate after September next year.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2011 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Chapter 11: VAT on Intra-Community Trade (9 May 2013) Seán Fleming: The amount they would have to pay will go up.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2011 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Chapter 11: VAT on Intra-Community Trade (9 May 2013) Seán Fleming: The Revenue Commissioners are doing the collection. Am I surprising Ms Feehily by suggesting people thought they would pay a fixed amount because the value of the house is fixed? It is in the legislation.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2011 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Chapter 11: VAT on Intra-Community Trade (9 May 2013) Seán Fleming: I fully understand that local authorities can increase the rate. We all understood that and perhaps it is a point of detail in the legislation. However, we did not understand that it was kicking in for local authorities by September of next year. Of course it is in the legislation if Ms Feehily says so. However, I do not believe the public has been made aware of it. They have...

Chapter 11: VAT on Intra-Community Trade (9 May 2013) Seán Fleming: Ms Feehily made another comment a moment ago. I wish to discuss the costs. Ms Feehily stated that the Revenue Commissioners are moving on to deductions at source, starting with people in employment, etc. She said it would then move on to people on social welfare payments. When might that be? They have to pay their full amount for this year but what if the Revenue Commissioners only get...
- Public Accounts Committee: 2011 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Chapter 11: VAT on Intra-Community Trade (9 May 2013) Seán Fleming: Does Ms Feehily agree that it is not understood that people could have a much higher deduction for the last four months of the year? They are the people who can least afford greater payments at the back end of the year. They are the people we should be facilitating by spreading payment over six months.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2011 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Chapter 11: VAT on Intra-Community Trade (9 May 2013) Seán Fleming: Correct. Is there interest on the deferral?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2011 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Chapter 11: VAT on Intra-Community Trade (9 May 2013) Seán Fleming: I have had calls from and have spoken to elderly senior citizens - people in their 80s on social welfare payments and on the State pension. Ms Feehily will be aware that people at that hour of their lives do not want bills hanging around. They feel that they may not get through the pearly gates unless everything they owe to God and man is paid before they leave. I have put it to these...

- Public Accounts Committee: 2011 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Chapter 11: VAT on Intra-Community Trade (9 May 2013) Seán Fleming: Therefore, we are discussing those who do not make the return. Ms Feehily cannot answer that until the first week in June.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2011 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Chapter 11: VAT on Intra-Community Trade (9 May 2013) Seán Fleming: It is very useful to hear this at the end of our meeting.
- Public Accounts Committee: 2011 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Chapter 11: VAT on Intra-Community Trade (9 May 2013) Seán Fleming: Yes. I thank Ms Feehily for clarifying that because something might have gone under the radar in regard to local authorities being able to increase the rate a person would pay from next year.

Vote 2 - Department of the Taoiseach (Revised)
Vote 3 - Office of the Attorney General (Revised)
Vote 4 - Central Statistics Office (Revised)

Vote 6 - Office of the Chief State Solicitor (Revised) (9 May 2013) Seán Fleming: The Taoiseach is very welcome to the committee this afternoon. I am pleased that he took time to be here personally. That is much appreciated. It is not all about the Dáil Chamber. It is good to see the Taoiseach taking the time to come to a committee meeting even if it is directly related to his Department. I wish to make a few observations that arose during the course of the...
