156. To ask the Minister for Finance further to Parliamentary Question No. 108 of 3 December 2015 if he has concluded the investigation into the tax affairs of medical consultants; the lessons learned for tax compliance; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14230/16]

I am advised by Revenue that their programme of compliance interventions in relation to the tax affairs of medical consultants is ongoing with further additional interventions being opened as necessary.  At end March 2016, a total of 752 Revenue compliance interventions had been opened on medical consultants and their controlled companies, with some 370 of these interventions having been finalised, resulting in settlements of almost €46.5 million, including tax, interest and penalties. There have also been 24 associated publications in the Quarterly Lists of Tax Defaulters published in accordance with the provisions of section 1086 of the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997.

I am aware that Revenue continues to evaluate the programme towards targeting specific tax risks in the sector and leveraging tax compliance generally.
