Vol. 358 No. 6

Written Answers. - Income Tax.

580.

asked the Minister for Finance when a refund of tax for the years 1982-83, 1983-84 and 1984-85 will be paid to a person (details supplied) in County Wexford.

I have been advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the taxpayer and her husband are assessable to income tax under the provision of section 194 of the Income Tax Act, 1967. Accordingly, the taxpayer's husband is chargeable on the combined income of both spouses.

The husband's liabilities for the years 1982-83 and 1983-84 were reviewed on 24 April 1985 and overpayments arose for both years. A cheque in settlement was issued to him on 29 April 1985. The inspector of taxes has been unable to trace receipt of a claim for repayment for 1984-85 from either the taxpayer or her husband. The inspector will now communicate directly with the taxpayer in the matter.

581.

asked the Minister for Finance if he will correct an income tax error in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Wexford who is an old age pensioner.

I have been advised by the Revenue Commissioners that, on the basis of the information available to the inspector of taxes, the taxpayer's income is below the appropriate exemption threshold and, accordingly, he will not be liable to tax for the current year, 1985-86. An exemption certificate has now been issued to the taxpayer and, when it is operated by the payer of his retirement pension, all the tax which has been deducted from the pension since 6 April 1985 will be refunded to the taxpayer.
