Angry legitimate account holders are unfairly targeted by Revenue

THE REVENUE Commissioners has been inundated with calls from people who say they are being unfairly targeted as holders of bogus non-resident accounts.

Last week the Revenue began sending warning letters to 40,000 individuals it suspects are linked to the accounts, telling those who have a tax liability to pay the tax, interest and penalties due.

Individuals targeted could face a Revenue investigation or prosecution if they fail to settle their tax affairs by the March 27 deadline.
