The Minister for Finance, Mr. Michael McGrath T.D., has welcomed the publication of the 2023 Annual Report of the Tax Appeals Commission (TAC). Headline figures from the report include:
- 1,521 appeals closed during 2023 valued at €1.386 billion
- 175 determinations were issued valued €409 million
- A decrease of 24 percent in the number of appeals on hand (1,139 in 2023 versus 1,504 in 2022) with a 60 percent reduction in the quantum of those appeals from €1.3 billion in 2022 to €519 million in 2023.
Noting the significant progress made by the TAC during 2023, which includes a new portal to enable online submission, the Minister said:
“The Tax Appeals Commission continues to provide an efficient, fair and cost effective appeals process for the taxpayers of the country which provides citizens with an accessible alternative to the Courts for tax appeals.”
