Bogus depositors repay €30m

THE latest name and shame list of tax defaulters includes the biggest tranche of bogus non-resident account holders to date, but the Revenue Commissioners said there were more to follow.

Altogether, 373 bogus depositors paid a total €30.08 million in the three-month period from April 1 to June 30 in settlements. The figure includes tax on undeclared income, interest and penalties.

The most high-profile figure on the list is Fianna Fáil TD and hotelier Michael Collins, who settled for €130,602, which included €32,001 in unpaid tax and interest and penalties of €98,601.
