I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the information requested by the Deputy is confidential to the taxpayers concerned and accordingly they are not in a position to disclose it. Revenue have emphasised that their general approach to tax compliance by their customers is to support and ensure timely voluntary compliance to the greatest extent possible. Where voluntary compliance is not forthcoming, then the appropriate collection and enforcement measures are deployed to address non-compliance.
