    It's hard to believe, but it appears that the public servants in Roscommon County Council are incapable of filling out a VAT return correctly!

    The Indo reports that:

    Roscommon County Council was hit to the tune of €456,000 following a Revenue audit case for the under-declaration of VAT. It included €342,000 in tax owed, interest of €13,000 and penalties of €101,000.

    On second thoughts it's not really all that hard to believe at all, given that the likes of Ming the Mindless MEP and Denis ex-Minister Naughton TD both hail from Roscommon!

    It's good to see them trying to match those enterprising chaps in the private sector.

    That's funny and Revenue were up and down the County of Roscommon last year doing a few surprise visits to unsuspecting Companies.

    You'd nearly buy Roscommon for that kind of money...

    The Guards. 



    Oh wait. 

    An Garda Síochána must be immediately sanctioned by the Revenue Commissioners over failure to clarify if it is tax compliant, a year on from the Garda college financial scandal, a TD has said.
