The Revenue Commissioners is to introduce a new computer system that will alert it to possible tax defrauders.
Software will be used to compare and "interrogate" data held in the Revenue's computer system, which will be put to use early next year. It will then generate risk profiles of likely tax evaders, the Revenue said today.
"We are determined to use every means at our disposal to identify tax evasion," Revenue chairman Mr Frank Daly said. "Computerised risk analysis and profiling will help up greatly to home in on those people who post the highest risk".
Revenue signed a contract in Dublin Castle this morning with Bull information Systems, which will install the computer system.
