Written answers

Minister for Finance

I am advised by Revenue that, in compliance with section 851A of the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997 (TCA), it is not permitted to disclose details relating to the tax affairs of any individual taxpayer or taxable entity, except in certain limited circumstances provided for in law, for example in the case of tax settlements meeting the criteria for publication under section 1086 of the TCA.

Revenue is therefore unable to provide the information requested by the Deputy pertaining to the employer (details supplied). I am advised that the person (details supplied) has entered into a payment arrangement with Revenue and that this arrangement stands. Therefore, there are no refunds due.
