The Tax Debt Warehousing Scheme was announced by the government in May 2020, at the height of Covid restrictions.
It was aimed at supporting businesses who suffered a downturn due to the pandemic.

256,000 businesses were eligible - and their combined debt was nearly 32 billion euro.
Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe has said 91% of that has been paid back to Revenue, but that leaves 2.9 billion euro outstanding.
Revenue has already written off €26.4 million euro in warehoused debt for companies that have been liquidated since the start of the scheme.
