I have been advised by the Revenue Commissioners that, as the taxpayer's estimated total income for the current year 1986-87 is not likely to exceed the appropriate age exemption threshold of £7,350, he is not liable to income tax for 1986-87. An amended certificate of tax free allowances granting tax exemption for that year was issued to him on 3 April 1986.
