But considering crimes of opportunity as well as liability issues, that uneven focus can be costly for organizations and commercial property owners. Also in this episode of SM Highlights, Eddie Sorrells, CPP, PCI, PSP, president of DSI Security Services and vice-president of ASIS International, digs into the who, what, when, where, and—most importantly—the why behind security incident reports.

This podcast concerns a determination from the Tax Appeals Commission concerning an appeal against a statement of liability for underpaid income tax for the years 2019 to 2023. The Appellant, a PAYE employee also earning rental income, disputed the Respondent's (Revenue Commissioners) calculation of an underpayment of €5,515.05. The Respondent had disallowed several reliefs and deductions claimed after a compliance check, though they allowed some following additional information. The Appellant argued the figures were wrong, citing issues with employment status, maternity benefit taxation, and disallowed rental expenses, but the Commissioner found the Appellant did not provide sufficient evidence to challenge the Respondent's detailed calculations or justify further deductions, particularly for rental expenses lacking receipts. Ultimately, the appeal was unsuccessful, upholding the original statement of liability.
