The Minister for Finance, Paschal Donohoe T.D., has today (Friday) announced the commencement of a recruitment campaign to fill 4 new Tier 3 Appeal Commissioner roles at the Tax Appeals Commission (TAC).
It has become clear since the establishment of the TAC that there is a wide range in both the complexity and quantum of matters appealed to the TAC, from disputes of vehicle valuations for VRT purposes to complex corporation tax assessments of hundreds of millions of euro.
Minister Donohoe has approved the introduction of a new four-tiered structure of Appeal Commissioners, expanding on the existing system of Appeal Commissioners and Temporary Appeal Commissioners which has been in place to date.
This new tiered system of Appeal Commissioners will reflect the actuality of the case load the TAC receives, and will provide a more efficient and cost-effective appeals service for taxpayers.
Speaking today, Minister Donohoe said:
“An efficient and effective tax appeals process is an essential element to any functioning tax system. Efficient and fair administration of the tax system, both by Revenue authorities and by appeals bodies, are key factors in supporting businesses and ensuring broad-based compliance with tax legislation.”
