Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 24 March 2021
461. Deputy Sean Sherlock asked the Minister for Finance the reason a person (details supplied) in County Cork, having completed a form 12 application in respect of significant medical costs, did not receive a larger tax refund given the level of expenses incurred. [14671/21]
View answerI am advised by Revenue that the health expenses claim for the person in question was processed on 22 February 2021 following the submission of her 2020 Income Tax Return.
A Statement of Liability for 2020 subsequently issued to the person on 23 February 2021 via the MyAccount service, and a refund of tax issued to her bank account on 25 February 2021. The refund was the total amount of tax paid by the person in 2020 and there is no further repayment due.
Revenue has confirmed that it will make direct contact with the person to explain her 2020 tax position and address any queries she may have.
