Aoife Quinn, daughter of one-time billionaire Seán Quinn, is embroiled in a dispute with the Revenue Commissioners over tax payable on money she received from Russian companies owned by her family’s business empire.

The Revenue Commissioners has appealed to the High Court a Tax Appeals Commission determination published last year in respect of Ms Quinn’s income tax assessment for 2011 and 2012, when she received monies arising from “bogus” employment contracts signed with three Quinn Group-owned Russian companies: Finansstroy, Red Sector, and Logistica.
