"The Department of Finance is seeking to undermine that privacy by implementing rules which would effectively remove a taxpayer's right to request a private hearing at the Tax Appeals Commission."
"Privacy has long been offered as a reward for non-compliant taxpayers who co-operate fully with Revenue to rectify their position and pay their dues."
The Department of Finance is proposing new rules that would significantly reduce taxpayer privacy during the appeals process. Historically, compliant taxpayers have enjoyed a presumption of privacy, which has served as an incentive for non-compliant taxpayers to cooperate with Revenue. The proposed changes would restrict the ability to request private hearings at the Tax Appeals Commission, allowing such requests only in exceptional circumstances, thereby undermining the privacy that compliant taxpayers have traditionally received.
