Today (Tuesday, June 13) Revenue published the List of Tax Defaulters in respect of the period January 1, 2023 to March 31, 2023.
The farmers have been listed in Part 1 of the list which 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 of the list 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”.
