Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 11 October 2016
77. Deputy Peter Burke asked the Minister for Finance the reason a person (details supplied) has had her tax credits adjusted by the Revenue Commissioners and is deemed to owe tax according to her employer. [29383/16]
View answerI am advised by Revenue that the person concerned had her tax credits reduced to reflect the fact that she was in receipt of Maternity Benefit, Job Seekers Benefit and One Parent Family Payment. Revenue would expect that, notwithstanding the reduction in tax credits, based on her current earnings the person would not be due to pay tax. Revenue will make direct contact with the employer concerned to clarify matters and confirm the position as regards liability to tax for the person concerned.
