The Departments of Finance and Social Protection issued a Consultation paper on what they term Intermediary-type Structures ie Contractors with a call for submissions closing on 31 March 2016.
We have reviewed the Consultation Paper and are disappointed it does not engage with the reality of the world of professional contracting and is more narrowly focussed on perceived losses of revenue to the Exchequer.
References to zero hours contracts appear as emotive headline grabbing comments but have little or no reality to Intermediary-type contracts.
Here is our slidedeck from the Contractors & Revenue Audits Seminar. There are a lot of worried contractors out there!

The Revenue Commissioners launched their Contractors Project in the Revenue South West region (ie Munster) in Spring 2013 following what they perceived as wholesale tax evasion by professional IT, engineering and pharmaceutical contractors in the region.
Noone Casey are hosting a seminar for contractors on 19th September 2013 at 6.30pm in the Alexander Hotel, Fenian St, Dublin 2 on Contractors & Revenue Audits.
The Revenue Commissioners are targeting contractors for Revenue audit following the success of their initial Contractor project in the Munster region. The first round of Audit notification letters has been issued with subsequent rounds being issued in the coming months.
The Revenue Commissioners continue to roll out their Contractor Project. This ‘project’ has expanded from a Munster initiative to an National review of COntractors accounts and tax returns. Revenue have successfully challenged the tax returns of many contractors since the project began and have recovered significant amounts of underpaid taxes.
Noone Casey have been to the forefront of negotiations & discussions with Revenue as to the scope & impact of their audits.
We are hosting a seminar in early September to bring the Contractor community up to speed on the latest Revenue audit issues.

Further details of the seminar will issue over the next 2 weeks.
