In 2006 my Department made a voluntary disclosure to the Revenue Commissioners concerning the purchase of services from a company which was within the scope of Schedule 4 VAT (the obligation to account for VAT in respect of services supplied from another country). The amount of VAT underpaid was €37,609.62. No interest or penalties were applied. The services concerned had been invoiced from Ireland and payment made to an Irish bank account, but had been supplied from the UK.
