asked the Minister for Finance whether the Revenue Commissioners will refund tax due to a person (details supplied) in County Kerry in one lump sum rather than by monthly instalments.
The Revenue Commissioners have advised me that the taxpayer ceased employment on 16 September 1988 and submitted a tax repayment claim to the Inspector of Taxes on 25 October 1988. The claim was dealt with and a cheque in respect of an interim refund was issued to him on 5 November 1988.
On 1 November 1988 the inspector wrote to the taxpayer enclosing a return of income for 1988-89 for completion. The form has not been returned to date. On receipt of the return form, duly completed, the balance of tax overdeducted will be refunded in full as the taxpayer has indicated that he does not intend resuming employment before 5 April 1989.
