Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 4 March 2014
33. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Finance when a Revenue Commissioner's investigation is expected to be resolved in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Donegal; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10568/14]
View answerI am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the Donegal District office has been made aware by an employee of a dispute between him and a former employer in regard to the amount of wages recorded on his P60 as having been paid to him for a particular tax year. The nature of the dispute appears to be one which, in the normal course would be resolved between the parties. However, in this instance Revenue is in contact with the person referred to by the Deputy in his question, with a view to assisting him in relation to his student grant.
All taxpayer information held by the Revenue Commissioners is confidential and may only be disclosed in accordance with Section 851A, Taxes Consolidation Act, 1997 or as is otherwise provided for by any other statutory provision. In this instance, the Revenue Commissioners will not be in a position to disclose to any other party any information in regard to the tax affairs of the former employer.
