Tribunal notifies taxman over ‘bogus records’ claim

THE Employment Appeals Tribunal is to notify the Revenue Commissioners about evidence from a recent hearing which alleged a businessman created bogus expense records to avoid paying tax and PRSI.

The EAT issued a ruling ordering Dundalk estate agent and mortgage broker James Cumiskey to pay €25,000 to a former employee for wrongful dismissal.

The owner of Cumiskey Real Estate, with an address at Jenkinstown, Dundalk, Co Louth, faces an investigation by tax officials.
