I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the person (details supplied) contacted his local Revenue office in January 2012 and his agent subsequently completed a tax return for the tax year 2011. The return included information on pension income which had not previously been taken into account in calculating the customer’s tax liability, and also claimed tax reliefs which had not previously been claimed. In accordance with normal practice the case was reviewed and a net additional liability arose in respect of 2010 and 2011 amounting to a total of €2,657.27. A flexible payment arrangement to discharge this liability has been made available to the customer. The Deputy’s reference to an amnesty in the details supplied part of his question is not correct.
