More than 40 tax inspectors have been diverted to DIRT and Ansbacher audits, according to IMPACT. A senior officer in the Revenue Commissioners has warned that without extra resources it will be impossible to police the rest of the tax system.
The president of the Association of Inspectors of Taxes division, Mr Paul Monks, has told the annual IMPACT conference in Kilkenny that total audit and investigation coverage has fallen by 40 per cent since 1995.
