I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that they have been in contact with the person's pension provider, which indicated that the person's tax credits were incorrectly applied for the initial pension payments in 2015. The pension provider has confirmed that they have now amended their records and the tax over deducted will be repaid directly to the person concerned.
Separately, the Revenue Commissioners have also advised me that following a review of the tax credits to which the person is entitled for 2015, they have arranged for the issue of a new tax credit certificate to the person and to the pension provider. This will result in a net increase in the tax credits to which the person is entitled for the 2015 tax year. When that certificate is received by the pension provider, less income tax will be deducted and any income tax already deducted over and above that due in 2015 will also be repaid.
