A car dealer has been given a suspended sentence after admitting that he did not pay income tax on more than €27,000 of cash found in his home. Brian Grendon (48), of Rowlagh Park, Clondalkin, Dublin 22, pleaded guilty to a charge of failing to remit income tax payable. Sentencing Grendon, Judge Orla Crowe said he was before her “solely on failure to remit income tax” on cash found at his home. “Clearly everyone has an obligation to pay income tax for the common good,” she said, adding that it was a considerable amount of cash. Spencer said the accountant’s report states that Grendon’s company imported and sold cars, was located in Northern Ireland and registered in the UK.
