What It Means
Revenue officers handle the biggest, most complex collection cases. They visit homes and businesses, conduct financial investigations, and can seize property. Having one assigned is a signal that your case has been escalated beyond automated collection.
Rule One
Do not answer questions during an unannounced visit. Politely say you want to retain a representative and ask for a reasonable deadline. Revenue officers respect this. They do not respect avoidance, dishonesty, or hostility.
A revenue officer is a negotiating partner, not an enemy. Professional engagement through a representative produces the best outcomes.
