Five 'nomadic businessmen' lose High Court challenge over CAB tax assessments

Five men who claimed, as members of the Irish Travelling community, they are "nomadic businessmen" not tax resident in Ireland in certain years have lost their legal challenge arising out of some income tax assessments issued by the Criminal Assets Bureau.

At the High Court today, Mr Justice Michael Twomey refused to overturn a tax appeal commissioner's ruling upholding a CAB decision the five could not appeal some tax assessments raised by CAB against them.
