Shane Cassells: Mr. O'Mahony referred to the transfer as well. I cannot remember what phrase he used, but he mentioned that the transfer posed challenges. What kind of review took place before the transfer from Revenue to the TAC?

Shane Cassells: I wish to ask about something that the Chairman touched on this morning. What quantum of money is under appeal and what is the backlog? The head of the Irish Tax Institute said that it could take ten years for the backlog to be cleared. Should more be done at the Revenue stage to reach settlements before they go to appeal, given the ever-growing size of the logjam and the quantum of money...

Shane Cassells: Mr. Cody has addressed a matter raised in the Comptroller and Auditor General's remarks, namely, managing debt, the amount of that debt, what is not collectable because of appeals and what is collectable. The Comptroller and Auditor General has pointed to a reversal in the trend and an increase in gross debt, more than a quarter of which is classified as collectable but has been subject to...

2016 and 2017 Revenue Accounts (28 Jun 2018)

Shane Cassells: Mr. Cody mentioned 2010. Since then nearly €1.8 billion in tax has been written off, which averages out to €250 million a year. In any man's language, or in layman's language, that is a significant amount of money, notwithstanding the increases in tax revenue in the eight year period. In terms of getting that average down and reducing the proportion of tax collectable that is...

Shane Cassells: Looking at that timeliness of compliance and at Revenue's audit teams and tackling non-compliance, which is something we have also touched on here before, I think of every ordinary person who looks at the defaulter list when it gets published in the newspapers. People sneak a look to see whether their neighbours are on it. The 2017 annual report shows that the yields from audits and...

Shane Cassells: Before I finish, chapter 22 refers to the film withholding tax. Will Mr. Cody explain this for people viewing? It is very interesting. It has been in legislation since 2015. I am interested because the Comptroller and Auditor General had issues with the delay in bringing film withholding tax receipts to account. Will Mr. Cody also speak to the actual issue itself? I am interested...
