County board figures brace for impact of Revenue Commissioners’ audits on GAA community.
Declan Bogue ASK ONE COUNTY board administrator his thoughts on the impending tax checks that the Revenue Commissioners are going to be placing on county boards, and he furnishes us with several concerns and examples, before frustration reaches boiling point.“And the warnings have been coming. This isn’t something new. Revenue have been warning for years that it’s coming.”
The scope of investigations is believed to be both forensic and wide-ranging and has the capacity to change and alter the path the GAA is on. “Certain people will be worried. They would have gotten cash payments, mileage, and yet they might have drove a company car and had a fuel card. So Revenue then don’t allow you to claim double on mileage.”
“The knock-on effect is who is paying the refs? The clubs are paying the refs. So they are not complying with Revenue. “But there is still cash coming in with half-time draws and programme sales, so there is cash coming.”Another figure we spoke to is a current county board chairman. He made the point that the general public might be inclined to believe that high-profile managers might be the focus of such investigations, but instead it would form a fraction of any review.
