I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the person in question has an annual pension in excess of the age exemption threshold of €20,000 and is accordingly liable to pay the income levy. A person entitled to a full medical card is, however, specifically exempt from the income levy. If the person in question holds a full medical card then evidence of this should be furnished to the pension provider who will not make any income levy deductions.
