EU Pilot 4976.13.TAXU

Generaldirektion Steuern und Zollunion Die angefragten Informationen waren nicht vorhanden.

Dear Taxation and Customs Union (TAXUD),

Under the right of access to documents in the EU treaties, as developed in Regulation 1049/2001, I am requesting documents which contain the following information:

I wish to request a copy of any correspondence alerting the Director General Taxation and Customs to a Relief on retirement for certain income of certain sportspersons scheme operating in Ireland or any correspondence by people complaining about this relief.
DG TAXUD took an EU Pilot infringement case against Ireland, your reference: EU Pilot 4976.13.TAXU, in April 2013 (an email was sent to the Department of Finance in Ireland on 24/4/2013).
I want to find out who or what prompted this Pilot investigation. Is there any correspondence from MEPs, other politicians or sporting organisations or clubs in relation to the Irish tax relief, alerting the DG TAXUD to the scheme?

Yours faithfully,

Colin Coyle

Generaldirektion Steuern und Zollunion
