Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 April 2015
140. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Finance further to Parliamentary Question No. 306 of 21 April 2015, when the last review of charitable status was granted to the Iona Institute; and the outcome of that review. [16817/15]
View answerAs previously advised to the Deputy in her question of 21 April 2015, for reasons of taxpayer confidentiality Revenue cannot comment on the tax affairs of any individual Body or Trust in receipt of a charitable tax exemption. This includes the disclosure of any information in regard to the timing or outcome of any reviews or audits completed on the Body or Trust.
However, Revenue has also again assured me that it has procedures in place to ensure that charitable tax exemption is only granted to Bodies/Trusts that meet the required criteria and that these entities are subject to periodic review to ensure that they continue to comply with the terms of the exemption.
