Vol. 343 No. 10

Written Answers. - Tax Refunds.

717.

asked the Minister for Finance the tax rebate due to a person (details supplied) in County Dublin; and when it will be paid.

I have been advised by the Revenue Commissioners that there is no information available to the inspector of taxes which suggests that the taxpayer is entitled to a tax refund for any year.

A review of the liability for the year 1981-82 has revealed an underpayment. The inspector is now writing in reply to the taxpayer setting out the position.

718.

asked the Minister for Finance if he will correct an error in a tax rebate for a person (details supplied) in County Wexford; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I have been advised by the Revenue Commissioners that a review of the liability on the taxpayer's earnings for 1982-83 revealed an overpayment which was refunded on 30 March 1983. Owing to an error regarding the identity of the persons concerned, the review did not, regrettably, take account of the fact that the tax position in this case had to be considered by reference to the aggregation provisions in section 194 of the Income Tax Act, 1967. The double rate bands were allowed in full to the taxpayer. When the error was discovered a review of the spouses' combined earnings revealed an underpayment, full details of which were notified by the inspector of taxes to the taxpayer on 9 May 1983.

Mr. Coughlan

asked the Minister for Finance when a VAT refund will be paid to a person (details supplied) in County Donegal.

The VAT repayment claim from the person concerned was received by the Collector-General on 12 April 1983 and was referred to the inspector of taxes for audit.

The inspector of taxes has now certified the claim for repayment and a cheque will be issued to the person concerned on 23 June 1983.

720.

asked the Minister for Finance if he will pay a full tax rebate to a person (details supplied) in County Tipperary.

I have been advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the taxpayer's application for a refund of tax suffered under PAYE on the grounds of unemployment was submitted to the inspector of taxes on 24 March 1983. A cheque in settlement was issued to the taxpayer on 4 May 1983 at the address given on the application. The cheque was cashed on 12 May 1983.
