Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 19 July 2016
887. Deputy Jonathan O'Brien asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation further to Parliamentary Question No. 798 of 12 July 2016, if she is aware that the employment permits section does not accept the scanned version of the tax clearance certificate that she referred to in her previous reply; and the steps she will take to rectify this matter. [22578/16]
View answerI wish to correct the Deputy O’Brien’s assertion that Employment Permit Section does not accept scanned copies of Tax Clearance Certificates. In general the Section will accept the scanned version where it is a clear and legible copy of the original. Some instances have arisen whereby the quality of scanned copies has not been adequate to satisfy me that the employer has complied with Revenue requirements. In such circumstances, additional information will be sought including, where necessary, the original Tax Clearance Certificate.
