182 Deputy Paul Kehoe asked the Minister for Finance if, as a result of the publication over the weekend of the fact that the Revenue Commissioners failed to tax travel benefits awarded to their staff, he will confirm that this meant that the employer, in this case the Revenue Commissioners, carried the responsibility for tax that should rightfully have been deducted from its employees; if he will further confirm that this situation does not arise in relation to other Departments or county councils, where staff have the option to travel on visits directly from their home instead of travelling from their place of work; the investigations that have taken place in order to satisfy him that the figures produced by the Revenue Commissioners represent the true figures and that there are not other perks that are not being taxed within his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
