I am unable to answer a parliamentary question about the tax affairs of an individual or a company other than when the Deputy is asking the question on behalf of the taxpayer. As it would appear in this case that the Deputy is not asking the question with the consent of the company concerned, I am unable to provide the information sought as the tax affairs of individuals or companies are confidential between them and the Revenue Commissioners. However, I am assured by the Revenue Commissioners that they continually monitor the tax compliance position of all companies and their employees and take appropriate action where necessary.

I have been advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the income tax affairs of the taxpayer are up to date. Refunds of income tax overpaid by the taxpayer and his spouse for the years 2005 and 2006 will issue shortly.
