This is a matter for the Revenue Commissioners. I am advised by Revenue that numerous efforts were made to meet the taxpayer concerned to give him an opportunity to discuss his affairs and resolve the outstanding issues. However, to date no engagement with the taxpayer has been forthcoming. Revenue also afforded the taxpayer and his agent the opportunity to file correct returns but to date this has not happened. I am advised by Revenue that no request has been received from the taxpayer or agent seeking an arrangement. If the taxpayer concerned engages with Revenue in a meaningful manner, then Revenue will work with the taxpayer to resolve the issue. If the taxpayer wishes to further discuss the outstanding issues, he should contact the Collector General's Office at (061) 488000.
