Introduction
The Revenue's new Code of Practice for Revenue Compliance
Interventions ("the Code") came into effect on 1 May
2022. This Code superseded the previous Code of Practice for
Revenue Audit and Other Compliance Interventions, which was drafted
in 2015 (hereafter referred to as "the previous
Code").
The Code was redrafted to reflect the introduction of
Revenue's new Compliance Intervention Framework, which also
came into force on 1 May 2022. The Code provides a set of
guidelines on the components of, and principles underpinning, the
new framework.
