Question:

205 Deputy Jack Wall asked the Minister for Finance if a person (details supplied) should be deducted the universal social charge on their pension; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29615/12]

Written answers

Minister for Finance (Deputy Michael Noonan)

I have been advised by the Revenue Commissioners that, based on the information currently available to them, the Universal Social Charge (USC) should not be deducted from the pension of the person concerned. A revised tax credit and USC certificate will shortly issue to the person concerned and to their employer. On receipt of the revised certificate the person's employer will refund any USC deducted for 2012.
