Gardaí have made a payment of nearly €270,000 to the Revenue Commissioners in settlement of a VAT bill for the restaurant and shop at their training college.
The payment was made as a “technical adjustment” according to a garda audit and without any penalties being applied.
Confusion had arisen over how goods sold at the restaurant and shop in Templemore should be charged for VAT, according to the report.
The audit also discusses the resolution of issues around the controversial lease of OPW land in Templemore by gardaí where rent was never passed on to the Office of Public Works.
