Farmer must pay 'off the scale' €364,513 tax bill after losing battle with Revenue

In 2013, 2014 and 2015, the farmer declared a combined income of €493,443 but the Tax Appeals Commission found lodgements to his accounts during that time totalled €1.99m

The farmer’s evidence was found to be vague, extremely general in nature and contradictory.

A retired farmer has been left with an “off the scale” €364,513 income tax and Vat bill after losing a tax battle with the Revenue Commissioners.

This follows the Tax Appeals Commission upholding Revenue Commissioner assessments against the retired farmer.
