720 Deputy Paul J. Connaughton asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport his views on amending hackney regulations to ensure that persons applying for a hackney licence have to provide a tax clearance certificate in relation to their hackney business, when they have one, as opposed to providing a tax clearance certificate in respect of PAYE employment; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that an amendment would considerably enhance the Exchequer and would remove the loophole whereby applicants provide a tax clearance certificate in respect of PAYE employment, which allows them to access a new hackney licence for five years; if his further attention has been drawn to the fact that cross-checking such matters would be simple in view of the fact that applicants could be assessed to see if they already hold a hackney licence and if that is in operation.
