Overview of OnlyFans Model and Company Tax Settlements
Matthew Gilbert, a model active on the platform OnlyFans, and his company, Matty Irish Viking Limited, were recently featured in Revenue's publication of tax defaulters in Ireland. Known as 'the Irish Viking', Gilbert and his enterprise have resolved their financial discrepancies by settling their tax debts fully.
Details of the Tax Settlement
Residing in Rathdrum, Co Wicklow, Matthew Gilbert was found to have under-reported his personal income, leading to a total tax settlement of €88,861 after interest and penalties were added to the initial undeclared amount of €61,374. Additionally, his Dublin-based company, positioned on Dame Street, faced issues with undeclared corporation tax, PAYE, PRSI, USC, and VAT. These under-reportings amounted to a hefty sum of €191,464, which after accounting for additional costs, escalated to €266,693.
Wider Context of Revenue’s Tax Defaulters List
This disclosure is part of the Revenue's routine effort to publicize information on tax defaulters. Among other notable mentions in the list was Stevenstown Transport Limited, a haulage firm which is now in liquidation and faced an outstanding debt of €1,817,125 predominantly due to under-declared excise and VAT. The company, located at the Kilcullen Industrial Estate, Co Kildare, still has an unpaid balance of €1,762,994.
Other entities and individuals such as Dayton Investments, a Dublin-based horse breeding company, and Paul Howard, a landlord and construction service provider, were also listed for their significant tax under-declarations, facing draconian penalties and settlements.
In the cases highlighted, including a courier and a skincare clinic, the Revenue's vigilant approach to ensuring compliance with tax obligations is evident, reflecting its commitment to maintaining fairness in the fiscal framework by addressing discrepancies across diverse sectors and professions.
