Matt Carthy: I thank Mr. Cody and his team for joining us this morning. I will start on the point Mr. Cody finished on. I was a member of the Oireachtas Special Committee on Covid-19 Response. Part of our work involved looking at the meat processing sector. We found that components within that sector regularly used agency staff to employee companies. These companies often consist of just one single...

Matt Carthy: I might just cut across Mr. Cody there. He referred to some actions in this area. It is difficult to assert how there would be a benefit to the worker on the basis that they are described as a company employed through an agency to work for a single factory in the sector I mentioned. Is that of concern to Revenue? Has it carried out specific analysis of that and is further action planned?...

Matt Carthy: The obvious follow-on question is: what will be done about that? If there are concerns that there are abuses and that this practice exists, what is the next step?

Matt Carthy: It might be interesting to follow up with that. I want to talk about warehoused debt and the scope for Revenue to ascertain that any company availing of warehoused debt genuinely needs to do that.

Matt Carthy: Small businesses, once they fit within a certain parameter in terms of size, were eligible. What percentage of those companies that warehoused debt subsequently ceased trading? Has a value yet been assigned to that debt?

Matt Carthy: I will ask Mr. Cody about international performance artists and revenues they might earn in this country. We have had a lot of media talk about big concerts that will take place next year. One particular gentleman, of whom I happen to be a fan, will do five nights in Croke Park. As a Monaghan man, that makes me very envious, which is probably less the case for a Kilkenny man who would be...

Matt Carthy: A response to a parliamentary question that dates to 2018 states: Artistes who are not resident in the State for tax purposes have a liability to Irish tax on income arising from the exercise of their profession in the State. However, because foreign resident artistes merely have a transitory presence in the State, there are numerous practical difficulties associated with enforcing such a...

Matt Carthy: In general, is Mr. Cody satisfied that Revenue is collecting the bulk of moneys owed in this regard? Is there wholesale avoidance of this tax?

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (1 Dec 2021)

Matt Carthy: We do not even need to go back that far. In May this year, the Minister brought forward proposals that would cap rent increases at 4%. There was a provision to allow landlords who had not previously increased rents to accumulate an increase in one go. An increase of 8% was permissible. When he realised that had failed, he brought forward a proposal that would link rent to the cost of...
