34 Mr. Ellis asked the Minister for Finance if he will give a refund of PRSI to persons who are due refunds of PRSI which is now being charged on teachers' pensions. [10674/97]
In cases where there has been an excess deduction of PRSI or levy contributions from an individual, refunds are made by the Revenue Commissioners, on receipt of an application from the individuals concerned to the Collector-General's office, Sarsfield House, Limerick.
I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that in the case of teacher's pensions, some confusion has arisen in regard to a possible over-deduction of PRSI and levies by the Department of Education, where teachers availed of a group scheme to make additional voluntary contributions for the purpose of enhancing their pension entitlements.
