asked the Minister for Finance the reasons for the difficulty in dealing with the income tax allowance problem of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 12.
Written Answers. - Dublin Income Tax Case.
348.
I have been advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the taxpayer ceased employment on 9 September 1983, and, according to official records, has not been re-employed since then. Following a review of his tax liability for 1982-83, all the tax deducted from his earnings for that year has been refunded to him. Similarly, the total income tax deducted in respect of the year 1983-84 has been repaid to the taxpayer.
On further examination of this case, it has emerged that the taxpayer's last employer, possibly because of an oversight on the part of the taxpayer in providing the necessary documentation, did not include on Form P.60 details of pay, tax and PRSI contributions for the year 1982-83 in relation to a previous employment. The inspector of taxes is now communicating with the employer with a view to rectifying the position.
