29 Mr. Currie asked the Minister for Finance if he has satisfied himself that full audit of less than 1 per cent of all income tax payers liable to self-assessment is sufficient to discourage tax evasion; if he will confirm that over 80 per cent of those taxpayers subject to audit were found to have understated their tax liability by an average of £11,143 per case; if he will introduce a random audit on a sizeable sample to act as a deterrent to evasion; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
