The latest Revenue list of tax defaulters is in most of today's papers. Some of these people owed a lot of money. We often hear calls for a crackdown on white collar crime - that people should be jailed for it. Isnt tax fraud just another form of white collar crime? Shouldnt there be mandatory jail sentences for those who defrauded Revenue of significant sums?
I'd like to suggest that each defaulter receive 1 week in jail for every €1,000 they defrauded. Any views?
