: I have been advised by the Revenue Commissioners that a cheque for £596.54, in settlement of a claim to repayment of tax deducted on arrears of superannuation contributions, was issued to the taxpayer on 28 May 1982. It has now come to light that that cheque does not appear to have reached him and arrangements are being made to enable a duplicate cheque to be issued to the taxpayer as soon as possible.
The taxpayer ceased employment on 27 November 1981 and lodged a claim to repayment of tax on 15 January 1982. The inspector of taxes wrote to the taxpayer for certain details of other income which were necessary to enable his tax position to be brought up to date. The full details required were not supplied initially by the taxpayer and further correspondence was necessary before the inspector was in a position, in November 1982 to review the liabilities for 1980-81 and 1981-82.
The reviews revealed an underpayment of £43.86 for 1980-81 and an over-payment of £10.61 for 1981-82. This leaves a net underpayment of £33.25, which will be collected by reducing the individual's tax-free allowances for 1983-84.
