It is important as there is currently a problem with cashflow, particularly with self-employed people. The State now appears to be contributing to the problem, and it is outrageous that the person I described must pay interest on income tax but the State will not pay interest on the money owed. It would be appropriate for the matter to be taken up with all the Departments and where money is owed, it should be paid within 30 days as required. I ask that the issue be clarified immediately and dealt with.
