The provision for the taxation of profits or gains arising from an unlawful source or activity is contained in section 19 of the Finance Act, 1983. It is part of a wide-ranging series of measures introduced in that Act to counter tax evasion and avoidance. This legislation is administered in the course of the general administration of the taxes and duties under the care and management of the Revenue Commissioners and it would not be possible to distinguish the direct or indirect effect on the revenue of any particular provision.
