asked the Minister for Finance the reason for the delay in the payment of a tax refund to a person (details supplied) in County Cork.
The Revenue Commissioners have advised me that there have been no delays in dealing with this case. The taxpayer did not notify the inspector until 29 May 1984 that he had retired on 17 March 1984. Certain information which was required for the purpose of carrying out a review of his 1983-84 liability was requested by the inspector on 18 June but was not supplied by the taxpayer until 25 August. The review was carried out on 4 September and a cheque in settlement was issued to the taxpayer two weeks later. Subsequently, additional information was supplied by the taxpayer which necessitated a further review of the 1983-84 liability. This resulted in a further small repayment being made on 9 October last.
On the basis of the information at present available to the Revenue Commisioners, the taxpayer's tax-free allowances for the current year are likely to exceed his income for that year and accordingly it is not anticipated that any liability to tax for 1984-85 will emerge.
