Municipality administrators who allow councillors to block the suspension of municipal services of defaulters can face legal action and retrenchment. |
The Revenue Commissioners confirmed that 201 tax defaulters made settlements of over 12,700 in their last report published in December. |
The only organizational measure of the institution attended by defaulters was whether the defaulter graduated. |
The excuse we have been given is that most fine defaulters have no fixed abode, keep moving addresses, and cannot be found. |
Meanwhile, they fail to collect what is owed by defaulters, adding to the burden on those who do pay. |
All 13 of Waterford's tax defaulters were penalised for non-payment of income tax and for being the holders of bogus non-resident bank accounts. |
