Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 13 March 2014
56. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Finance the extent to which a solution has been found to resolve the matter of unpaid income tax in the case of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [12677/14]
View answerI am advised by Revenue that the person in question has a poor tax compliance history over recent years and did not engage in meaningful discussions to resolve his outstanding liability despite being afforded a number of opportunities to do so. Due to the lack of engagement, I am advised that Revenue was left with no alternative but to refer the case to the Sheriff for collection.
Notwithstanding the above, the Sheriff has very recently informed Revenue that the person has entered into a phased payment agreement and on that basis further debt recovery activity has ceased.
