Dublin Circuit Criminal Court heard yesterday that the import tax on garlic is “inexplicably” high and can reach 232pc.
On another note, why is the tax on garlic so high?
Good point. I suppose there is something sneaky about calling Garlic Apples which respectable tax evading businessmen would never stoop to, nonetheless tax evasion is tax evasion and should be treated with a level hand. Personally, I would put many more in jail rather than merely name and shame (and charge a penalty).I dont get this at all. We hear in the news every few months of business men and women who make tax settlements with the Revenue Commissioners for tax evasion. Some huge amounts have been paid by very well known business people over the last few years.. Two men settled for more than €2m last December for failing to declare tax and for holding offshore accounts. They knew exactly what they were doing. They didnt see a day in jail though.
Look at the bankers has become the most overused phrase around
I was here alright and didn't miss the last five years but every case if different and every case should be judged on its own
Ok the guy did wrong, he tried to fraud the state out of thousands of Euro, no doubt about it. He has got the punishment BUT can someone tell me why the likes of BERTIE, MOLLOY, FITZPATRICK et al are not in jail??????? It's a bizarre situation, they are responsible for bringing this country to its knees and there is no punishment for them except big pensions and million euro payoff, a tad unfair in my honest opinion.
Because they havn't been charged or found guilty of anything... YET
