Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 February 2017
153. Deputy Michael McGrath asked the Minister for Finance the maximum period of time that a person can be given for a repayment schedule in which exceptional personal circumstances apply in relation to the repayment of tax relief at source, TRS, owed to the Revenue Commissioners; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8315/17]
View answerRevenue has advised me that where there is open and honest engagement by the mortgagee in dealing with a TRS overpayment, then every effort is made to agree a viable solution that takes account of his/her personal and financial circumstances.
The Deputy should advise the person in question to immediately make contact with the TRS Helpline on lo-call 1890 263646. Once contact is made, Revenue will work with the person to agree a suitable payment arrangement.
Alternatively, if the Deputy wishes to provide the person's details to Revenue, a member of the TRS team will make direct contact with a view to agreeing a mutually satisfactory arrangement.
