I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that they are engaged in an ongoing programme of compliance work in relation to medical consultants. Revenue's main focus at this time in the context of this programme is the tax issues arising from the incorporation of medical consultants businesses.

To date, Revenue has opened a total of 331 compliance interventions. Some 128 of the interventions have been concluded, which has resulted in the collection of €19,199,325 in tax, late payment interest charges and penalties.
