Ex-junior minister Ivor Callely makes €173,000 tax settlement 

The case related to the under-declaration of Vat at his car dealership

Ivor Callely served as a TD between 1989 and 2007 before losing his seat. He was subsequently appointed to the Seanad by Bertie Ahern. 

Former junior minister Ivor Callely has found himself on the latest tax defaulters list having made a settlement with the Revenue Commissioners at a cost of close to €173,000 for an under-declaration of Vat relating to his car dealership.

In this latest tax defaulters list, which covers the period between July 1 and September 30, Revenue detailed 36 case settlements worth a combined €15m. Mr Callely was included in a list of tax defaulters whose case Revenue has accepted a settlement offer instead of initiating court proceedings.
