    Technical error? you mean some tax man did his job properly and billed them for what they should be paying without the discount. I’d say he’s licking stamps now.

    Is anyone shocked ?? Revenue in this country is a joke. And it was not a system error, anyone that sold land in the 80′s got letter’s looking for up to 20k Irish even if the land went for 50p.
    Revenue have done this for decades, throw out a few lines and a fish will always bite. Scam artist’s.
