Butcher seeks dismissal of Revenue demand for €187,000 inheritance tax bill

John Herterich says the demand significantly overvalued the inheritance he received

A butcher has asked the High Court to dismiss a demand by Revenue for a €187,000 inheritance tax bill because he says he never received notices and demands to pay it.

John Herterich, who Revenue says owns and operates Fred Herterich and Sons pork butchers in Lombard St, Galway, is being pursued for summary judgment for €187,821 in capital acquisitions tax, including some €55,000 in interest.
