Revenue is an integrated tax and customs administration with compliance interventions being risk driven and deployment of staffing and other resources reviewed regularly in light of, inter alia, risk, the need to ensure operational effectiveness and emerging technological advancements. I am advised by Revenue that given its integrated approach to confronting non-compliance risk, it is not possible to disaggregate staffing resources deployed on the basis requested by the Deputy.
I am advised by Revenue that at present it has a specific compliance project underway as regards the gaming and amusement sector that includes visits to premises and examination of compliance matters. If the Deputy has any specific information as regards non-compliance that he wishes to bring to the attention of Revenue, those concerns can be examined as part of the current project.
