I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that no company or entity as outlined in the details supplied is known to them. Accordingly, no certificate of authorisation under section 531 of the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997 — otherwise referred to as a C2 — has issued to any such company or entity.

However, the tax reference number furnished refers to a private individual from whom an application for a C2, dated 27 March last, was received by the Revenue Commissioners on 18 April 2005. Significant further information was sought by Revenue in a letter to the applicant's tax agent dated 20 April 2005 in relation to this application. However, no reply has been received to this request and until the information requested is provided the application cannot be processed further.
