- Other Questions: Tax Compliance (24 Oct 2017)
Richard Boyd Barrett: I would welcome any action by the Government on this matter and indeed the raid on that site that followed the question I raised with the Minister. The problem is that it has not come with a proper outcome. The workers involved received notification from Revenue that they started their employment in August following the question I raised here in July, even though they were on site in July...

- Other Questions: Tax Compliance (24 Oct 2017)
Richard Boyd Barrett: One of the main methods through which unscrupulous cowboy builders and building contractors deny construction workers proper pay and conditions and rob the taxpayer of, I would argue, tens if not hundreds of millions of euro is bogus self-employment, which is a euphemism for tax fraud. I wish to ascertain the latest net figures from the RCT1 tax head for construction workers. How many...

I can tell the Minister, however, that the raid which I think was prompted by my question in July on the Dolphin's Barn refurbishment site was a joke. It took place in the canteen. People were invited to come into the canteen rather than officials from Revenue and the...

Richard Boyd Barrett: 39. To ask the Minister for Finance the extent of deductions, allowances and reliefs allowing corporations to reduce their tax liability under headings such as intra-agency transfers, research and development, losses brought forward and other such headings; his views on whether such reliefs, deductions and allowances are facilitating large scale tax avoidance and represent bad value as tax...
