I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that as they categorise taxpayers on the basis of the internationally accepted standard economic activity NACE Code, it is not possible without extensive examination of Revenue records to provide the information in the detail requested by the Deputy.
I am advised by Revenue cases are selected for compliance intervention by them having regard to the presence of various risk indicators and other information available. Risk assessment on all self-assessed taxpayers, including public bodies, is conducted a number of times a year. I am assured by Revenue that compliance interventions in the case of public bodies is an ongoing aspect of their work.
