can you be jailed for not doing something

For some strange reason, in the past twelve months (or so), we have had to deal with quite a few cases involving "Income Tax" (IT).   Some of these were minor civil matters, and some were more serious alleged Criminal Offences, which could have ended in prison time for the accused People ... which they didn't. Cases of this sort (Income Tax Criminal Cases), are notoriously difficult for most People to defend and/or challenge. Well at least if you are going it alone entirely, and/or if you are using a Solicitor and/or a Ba*rister.   Most (if not all) cases taken by Revenue (or the DPP/State), have an extremely high success rate, and/or are settled with the said accused/defendant capitulating to the whim(s) of Revenue and Court ever before a "real" case can be heard.   THUS FAR: The Success Rate of the People that we have been and are still working with in defending cases against Revenue, is 100%. ...    Although it can at times be difficult to pinpoint the exact POINTS OF LAW on which Revenue have fallen, or have been felled.  But fallen and felled they have ... he, he, he.   It's not much fun while you are in the midst of legal wars of this kind, but certainly there can be much comfort and satisfaction had when a Judge strikes out or dismisses a case of this kind in your favour.     In keeping with the above, our next School of Commonology, is going to focus on Criminal Law, and specifically in relation to Income Tax.   We have a few succesful case studies to dip into for the material required, some of it is pretty clear cut, and some will require a bit of critical thinking and processing.   We will inform all those that may wish to book and attend the School in the next couple of weeks of the specific date, time etc.  ... and we provisionally planning to have it mid to late March, so keep an eye out for the booking link.   In the meantime, as part of your own preparation for this specific School on "Criminal Law on  Income Tax" (CLIT), we recommend that you re-search, look up and read the "DPP Guidelines for Prosecutors 2010" ... specifically Sections 8 and 9.   We cannot recommend this enough.
