Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 175 and 176 together.
I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the sector identifier used on tax records is based on the 4 digit NACE code , which is an internationally recognised economic activity code system. As the economic activities referred to by the Deputy in both questions are not clearly identifiable within the NACE code system the tax-based information requested by the Deputy either could not be identified or could not be identified without conducting an extensive investigation of the Revenue Commissioners records.
