Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 June 2016
162. Deputy Mattie McGrath asked the Minister for Finance the amount of Value Added Tax refunds over €3,000 still outstanding in the Thurles tax district in County Tipperary; why it is taking so long to refund value added tax of over €3,000 in the Thurles tax district; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15547/16]
View answerI am advised by Revenue that there are currently 163 Value Added Tax repayment claims, covering 132 separate taxpayers/businesses, for amounts over €3,000 under consideration by Tipperary Revenue District.
Of the 163 claims under consideration by Revenue 108 are the subject of specific enquiry with the taxpayer/business concerned. The balance are under review by Revenue, 87% of which have been received within the last month.
I am assured by Revenue that in general there is no undue delay in considering VAT repayment claims by the Tipperary Revenue District. Enquiries on a specific case can be directed by the taxpayer/business concerned to the Tipperary Revenue District.
