Following a commitment made last year by Michael Noonan to review the tax appeals process and a pre-legislative scrutiny process by the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform the Finance (Tax Appeal) Bill 2015 was published on 17 July 2015. The Bill overhauls the tax appeals process in Ireland and it is likely to be signed into law towards the end of 2015.
