Catherine Murphy: I welcome the witnesses. Probably the main reason we invited representatives of Revenue in today, and representatives from the Department of Social Protection last week, is the Karshan judgment and its implications. It is a very welcome judgment because it will clarify matters. Revenue is going to produce a document following on from that. When is it likely to produce it?

Catherine Murphy: My time is tight and there are a number of questions I want to ask. I am not being rude. It is likely that the committee will write a short report following the meetings with Revenue and the Department of Social Protection. Obviously, there is a third entity, the Workplace Relations Commission, WRC, on the employment rights side. We could make a recommendation on the definition of...

Catherine Murphy: That clarifies the matter for me. Revenue gave us a very helpful briefing note, which states that decisions of the individual agencies are not binding on each other. The three agencies are the scope section of the Department of Social Protection, Revenue and the WRC. The entities are independent but are they completely independent? In the past, has Revenue taken a decision of the scope...

Catherine Murphy: I am aware of that. There was a change in 2019 because of the change in the flat rate of the tax allowance scheme. Am I correct to assume that change means that some people will now be assessed as self-employed rather than PAYE workers? How does now that play out, for example, for couriers?

Catherine Murphy: Okay. An argument has been made that test cases were used in the scope section and they were used in turn by Revenue which historically defined couriers, for example, as a class of self-employed worker. Would Mr. Cody agree or disagree with that? What is his view on it?

Catherine Murphy: I will move on. As I said, the document the Revenue Commissioners gave us is very helpful. I was surprised at the remarkably stable number of companies that use couriers and that it is quite a low number. It is not the only one. It is an example. We can see the consequences for the likes of RTÉ where there was a Revenue settlement and a major investigation is ongoing in the scope...
