More than €92.8 million has been collected by Revenue under the medical consultants’ tax compliance programme between 2013 and 2024, the Medical Independent has learned. The figure includes taxes, penalties, interest, and ‘uplift’ charges. Uplift relates to the estimated tax receipts saved or to be collected in future because of interventions, according to a Revenue spokesperson.
The compliance programme is now “drawing towards completion”, stated Revenue. Of the 777 interventions initiated, 774 are now closed. “At 31 December 2024, there were three open interventions in the programme at various stages of completion,” said the spokesperson. “By the end of 2024, 52 cases had been published in the quarterly List of Tax Defaulters.”
In 2024, €146,905 was collected in taxes, penalties, and interest – the lowest yield of any year since the project commenced. In comparison, €3.3 million was collected in 2023.
“The annual yield arising through the medical consultants’ compliance programme consists of both larger and smaller settlements, and it would not be appropriate to draw comparisons between the total yield figure in each year, or average yield figures per case,” said the spokesperson.
They added that the figures relate to a specific compliance programme.
