Vol. 465 No. 2
83 Mrs. T. Ahearn asked the Minister for Finance if he will have arrangements made to investigate whether the correct tax free allowance is being given to a person (details supplied) in County Tipperary; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9354/96]
I have been advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the taxpayer is in receipt of the correct tax-free allowances. Due to the level of her total income it is more beneficial for this person to be taxed under the normal tax system rather than under marginal relief where an exemption limit of £4,500 applies in the case of a widowed person between 65 and 74 years of age.
