A dairy farmer from Co. Kerry is among those who have been named in the latest List of Tax Defaulters published by Revenue.
Revenue has today (Tuesday, December 10) published the List of Tax Defaulters in respect of the period July 1, 2024 to September 30, 2024.
Part 1 of the list refers to persons in whose case the court has determined a penalty relating to a settlement, or has imposed a fine, imprisonment or other penalty in respect of a tax or duty offence.
Part 2 refers to persons in whose case Revenue has accepted a settlement offer instead of initiating court proceedings, or a settlement has been paid in full.
This list reflects the amount of a settlement that remained unpaid at the end of the period December 31, 2023. Unpaid amounts are subject to Revenue’s normal debt collection and enforcement procedures.
