Vol. 402 No. 1
98 Proinsias De Rossa asked the Minister for Finance the estimated amount of unpaid taxes under each tax category at the latest date for which figures are available.
I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the information sought is published annually in the appropriation accounts and the Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General.
The latest published figures were included in the 1988 report, and showed the position at 31 May, 1989.
I understand that the 1989 report will be published shortly.
For your convenience, relevant extracts from the 1988 report are provided as follows:
