Revenue Commissioners' farm VAT investigation continues

The Revenue Commissioners will shortly undertake audit type examinations of growers, such as poultry farmers, to establish if there is still a systematic excess of flat-rate addition payments over VAT on input costs, when account is taken of the recent changes implemented by co-ops in the sector, writes Stephen Cadogan.

This follows the industry abandoning some activities likely to give rise to overcompensation of growers for their VAT costs.
