I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that under the provisions of section 851A of the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997, which was inserted into the tax code by the Finance Act 2011, they have a statutory obligation to treat all taxpayer information confidentially. Consequently, they are precluded from commenting on the tax affairs of the business in question.
