Santa Claus warned about Revenue’s naughty list

You better watch out Santa... the taxman is coming to town and he’ll know if you’ve been naughty or nice.

Santa Claus impersonators and operators of Christmas grottos and Lapland-themed events have been warned that they must declare all seasonal income to Revenue.

Ireland has seen a proliferation of for-profit Christmas-themed businesses in recent years, with pop-up Santa grottos, Christmas caves, and Lapland locations appearing in many cities and towns from late November.
