Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 17 October 2012
100. Deputy Patrick O'Donovan asked the Minister for Finance further to Parliamentary Question No. 189 of 9 October 2012, if he will confirm the amount of and reason for the refund payment made to a person (details supplied) in County Wexford on 15 February; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [45364/12]
View answerI am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the person concerned submitted a claim of €226 relating to medical expenses for 2011. Relief is available at the standard rate of tax, which was 20% in 2011. Therefore the person concerned was entitled to 20% of €226, which amounts to €45 and this is the refund he received as per PAYE Balancing Statement that issued on 15 February 2012.
