Oct, 2011

Two dozen tax officials have been disciplined for abuse of access to internal records since 2009, according to the Sunday Times. Three officials resigned and two were dismissed after being caught using the system for personal gains. “Disciplinary files show three tax officials extracted €57,514 in fraudulent rebates from the Revenue before being uncovered by internal investigators.” Other cases cited by the paper involve the altering of tax records of former partners to reduce their income and entitlements.
