Revenue Commissioners To Adopt Computerised System For Identifying Tax Evaders
Ireland's Revenue Commissioners announced on Tuesday that a computerised risk
analysis system will shortly replace the current manual processes for weeding
out tax evaders. The system, scheduled to become operational in 2003, cost around 1.4 million
euros, according to reports, and was supplied by computer services group, Bull
Information Systems. However, it is thought likely that this sizeable investment in the computerised
system will pay dividends in the end, as where it has been implemented in other
countries, the amount of tax collected has increased - by as much as 20% in some
cases. Speaking at Dublin Castle following the signing of the contract with Bull on
Tuesday, Revenue Chairman Mr. Frank Daly said: 'We are determined to use every
means at our disposal to identify tax evasion. Computerised risk analysis and
profiling will help us greatly to home in on those people who pose the highest
risk. This new electronic analysis system is a demonstration of our on-going
commitment to confronting tax evasion in all its forms'. .
