I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the person in question submitted a claim for medical expenses relief on 16 October 2003. The claim related to medical expenses incurred by the person's wife during the year 2003. The claim was returned to him on 16 October 2003 indicating that the claim could not be addressed until the end of the tax year 2003. On 21 January 2004, the taxpayer submitted his wife's P60 claiming an unemployment repayment for the year 2003. As a result a repayment of €428.74 was made on 25 February 2004.
During February 2004, the taxpayer re-submitted his medical expenses claim and a cheque for €975.74 was certified on 24 March 2004. In view of the current postal dispute, the cheque will be available for collection at a Revenue office within the next few days. The taxpayer should contact lo-call number 1890 333 425 to agree a convenient tax office from which the cheque may be collected as well as a date for this. To collect the cheque, the taxpayer will be required to present two forms of identification, including one form of photo ID, for example, passport, driver's licence, utility bill etc.
