Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that, where a company is having difficulty in meeting its tax obligations, all aspects of the company's business, including late payment by the company's customers, are taken in to account in considering the action to be taken.
Revenue's consistent advice in such cases is that the company should contact Revenue to discuss the situation so that an appropriate arrangement for dealing with the issue can be considered.
