Revenue Commissioners Ready To Pounce
by Jason Gorringe, Tax-News.com, London

15 November 2002

According to reports in the Irish media this week, the Revenue Commissioners are poised to pounce on a number of super-wealthy tax evaders whose activities were uncovered during the Ansbacher investigation, but who did not take part in that scheme.

Reporting on Thursday, the Irish Independent revealed that the tax authority has already received average payments of 725,000 euros from nine individuals in order 'to stop the interest clocks ticking after their scams involving offshore funds and deposits were uncovered by Revenue as part of the Ansbacher trawl'.

Given the fact that the average payment on account for those involved in the Ansbacher scheme was 282,000 euros, it seems likely that the amount of tax evaded by the nine individuals in question is substantially higher.
