I might be wrong but I think that the current proposal allows revenue to by pass the courts.

This is my problem with the proposal.

I agree with umop3p!sdn when he suggests that the measure may be unconstitutional and would require a referendum to allow it stand if challenged.

It looks like Revenue can now help themselves to tax payers' wages if there are any outstanding debts.

I would have thought such a drastic move would necessitate a referendum?
