As the preliminary measure, the Unit will contact a select number of wealthy individuals and will work with them and their advisors to ensure that they are up to date with their filings of Tax Returns.
Apart from helping them identify and avoid mistakes or omissions in their initial filings, the IRD will also be conducting additional risk assessments and profiling of wealthy taxpayers to conduct audits on cases that have the highest risks.
