The Revenue Commissioners have advised me that the taxpayer completed a return of income for the curent year, 1983-84, on 3 January 1984. On the basis of that return he was granted a revised tax-free allowance of £4,906 (i.e. £94.35 per week). This figure includes the married person's allowance and an allowance in respect of seven children. An amended certificate of tax-free allowances was issued in the case on 25 January 1984 and, when it was operated by the employer four days later, a refund of £9.13 was made to the taxpayer. This represents the amount of tax which had been overpaid by him since 6 April 1983.
An examination of the taxpayer's position for the year 1982-83 has disclosed that insufficient tax has been paid by him for that year. This matter will be the subject of a communication from the inspector to the taxpayer in the near future.
