Kieran O'Donnell: The Revenue did seek it.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Taxation Matters Relating to Kerry Co-Operative: Revenue Commissioners. (7 Dec 2016)

Kieran O'Donnell: The letter refers to enabling the taxpayer to avail of the opportunity to make such a disclosure and calls on him to respond to with his computation of the taxable amount together with the appropriate payment.

Kieran O'Donnell: I have limited time. What I want to know is simple. Will the Revenue extend the time period to 60 days?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Taxation Matters Relating to Kerry Co-Operative: Revenue Commissioners. (7 Dec 2016)

Kieran O'Donnell: No, I am sorry. I am looking for 60 days based on the aspect query. The Revenue is looking for people to come back in 21 days. I believe the period should be extended on the grounds of fair play. This is not about one individual. Approximately 400 suppliers are involved and it potentially extends to other suppliers. This matter requires a test case to be heard. For the sake of...

Kieran O'Donnell: Does that apply under the aspect query?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Taxation Matters Relating to Kerry Co-Operative: Revenue Commissioners. (7 Dec 2016)

Kieran O'Donnell: If someone writes to Revenue now and looks for an extension of 60 days to come back under the aspect query, the Revenue will accept it. Is that correct?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Taxation Matters Relating to Kerry Co-Operative: Revenue Commissioners. (7 Dec 2016)

Kieran O'Donnell: Will Revenue suspend interest and penalties in that period?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Taxation Matters Relating to Kerry Co-Operative: Revenue Commissioners. (7 Dec 2016)

Kieran O'Donnell: Will the Revenue allow a test case to be heard in that 60 days? That is a practical measure. It would allow farmers time to view the test case. It would allow farmers to know the outcome of the test case by the time they have to respond. It is a question of fair play.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Taxation Matters Relating to Kerry Co-Operative: Revenue Commissioners. (7 Dec 2016)

Kieran O'Donnell: With due respect, fair play is not being adhered to on the basis of the letter. Mr. Phelan has agreed to the 60 days. I respect that and I believe it will make a difference. However, the Revenue must allow that the period must go hand-in-hand with a test case being heard. Then, if a test case is heard and goes beyond 60 days, on the grounds of fair play that 60 days should be extended...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Taxation Matters Relating to Kerry Co-Operative: Revenue Commissioners. (7 Dec 2016)

Kieran O'Donnell: Mr. Phelan is misinterpreting me. I want one test case. Will Revenue allow one test case to be heard? Revenue should not raise assessments on the others 399 farmers. Revenue should allow the test case to be heard until such time as farmers can go back to Revenue and reply while fully aware of the outcome of the test case. That is fair play.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Taxation Matters Relating to Kerry Co-Operative: Revenue Commissioners. (7 Dec 2016)

Kieran O'Donnell: I will finish on this point. With due respect, if I were to do that to the Revenue, Mr. Phelan would say it was sharp practice. The Revenue is raising it on a year because it wants to get around the four-year rule. I am sorry, but Mr. Phelan is wrong on this point. The bottom line is that Revenue has put these out. If it is down to pure revenue collection, it is wrong. If the amount is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Taxation Matters Relating to Kerry Co-Operative: Revenue Commissioners. (7 Dec 2016)

Kieran O'Donnell: Yes.

Kieran O'Donnell: It is important to be consistent.

Kieran O'Donnell: Will Mr. Phelan put the 60 days in that letter?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Taxation Matters Relating to Kerry Co-Operative: Revenue Commissioners. (7 Dec 2016)

Kieran O'Donnell: Penalties will not apply in this situation.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Taxation Matters Relating to Kerry Co-Operative: Revenue Commissioners. (7 Dec 2016)

Kieran O'Donnell: With due respect, I wish to make a critical point. I do not wish to labour this matter but I will do so.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Taxation Matters Relating to Kerry Co-Operative: Revenue Commissioners. (7 Dec 2016)

Kieran O'Donnell: I wish to clarify my point. Mr. Phelan has stated that Revenue is in the process of raising assessments. The letter issued by Revenue was dated 18 November and is due a reply by Friday, 9 December. We ask that Revenue writes to the 400 people involved stating that nothing will happen for 21 days plus 39 days. I ask that Revenue does not raise assessments for the next 39 days, which is a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Taxation Matters Relating to Kerry Co-Operative: Revenue Commissioners. (7 Dec 2016)

Kieran O'Donnell: I have asked simply that Revenue allows 60 days. I ask Revenue to facilitate that no assessment be raised until 60 days have elapsed. As many as 21 days will have be used by next Friday, 9 December, and I ask for another 39 days. Mr. Phelan has said Revenue wishes to work with us. It is unfair and goes against the spirit of co-operation that Revenue will write to the 400 people and raise...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Taxation Matters Relating to Kerry Co-Operative: Revenue Commissioners. (7 Dec 2016)

Kieran O'Donnell: I will cut to the chase. The letter basically tells people that to avail of the opportunity to make such a disclosure they should respond to Revenue with a computation of tax together with the appropriate payment, which is within the 21-day period. What we seek today is straightforward. We want Revenue to issue a letter before next Friday because people are petrified by the 21 days'...
