Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 28 June 2017
185. Deputy Jack Chambers asked the Minister for Health if all agencies under his aegis have an up to date tax clearance certificate; the agencies which do not have an up to date tax clearance certificate; the reason they do not have a tax clearance certificate in each case, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30288/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraIn line with the Department of Expenditure and Reform's Code of Practice for the Governance of State Bodies all State Bodies under my aegis must comply with the Code and this includes compliance with tax laws and the requirements of the Revenue Commissioners. The following table sets out the information requested by the Deputy specifically in relation to tax clearance certificates.
As can be seen, 18 of the 19 Agencies have an up to date Tax Clearance Certificate. While the Dental Council has confirmed that it is, and has always been, fully tax compliant it has never been asked for a Tax Clearance Certificate and therefore it does not have one.
