PQ 836
836. Deputy Ken O'Flynn asked the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration whether he is aware of consistent media reporting that companies and individuals registered for tax purposes in offshore jurisdictions, including the Isle of Man, have been awarded contracts by his Department for the provision of International Protection Accommodation Services; in all instances where the Department has contracted with entities registered in offshore jurisdictions for services delivered within the State, what tax treatment has been applied to those payments; whether there are any instances in which payments made by the Department to offshore-registered entities for services delivered in Ireland are not subject to Irish taxation; whether there are instances in which the Department has self-assessed and paid the VAT element associated with such services through the reverse charge mechanism rather than receiving a VAT-inclusive invoice from the provider; given the scale and nature of these contracts, what ongoing compliance activities the Department undertakes with respect to monies paid, including due diligence on the tax status, corporate structure and solvency of contracted entities; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
