Just when the Revenue make a bid for outrageous new powers, a report comes out showing that 1 million of all taxpayers are charged the wrong tax each year! That must be the conclusive argument against any extension of IR powers to grab money from our bank accounts.

All too often now the Revenue makes aggressive claims for more tax from popele. They are forced to spend time arguing the case., They often have to spend money on taking accountancy advice. if accountants agree the Revenue’s interpretation of tax law is unreasonable, they may then need to spend money on lawyers to take the case to court.

It is unfair on most people who do not have the time and the money to do all that. The Revenue are already effectively judge and jury in their own cases. That’s why their new aggression is unreasonable, and should be sorted out by Ministers who are meant to stand up for taxpayers. Unfortunately this lot of Ministers??just seem to want to take as much tax as possible by as stealthy a means as possible.
