Revenue chief in the firing line

Revenue chief in the firing line

Sir Nick has come under increasing pressure during the past six months, originally for his involvement in the department’s decision to sell over 600 Revenue properties to Bermuda-based company, Mapeley.

Lately, the pressue has grown for him to provide answers for the government’s new tax credits debacle.
