Amharc ar fhreagraSince its establishment in March 2016, the Tax Appeals Commission (TAC) has had two full time Commissioners. An additional temporary Commissioner was appointed in June 2017 for a period of at least two years to assist mainly in the disposing of the legacy cases which transferred to the TAC from the Revenue Commissioners.
The Commission currently comprises the following administrative staff in addition to the aforementioned Commissioners:
Principal Officer: 1
Assistant Principal: 2
Higher Executive Officer: 1.5
Executive Officer: 2
Clerical Officer: 3.
The TAC has a recruitment campaign underway in conjunction with the Public Appointments Service to engage tax-qualified staff to assist with tax appeals.
