Written Answers. - Tax Liability.
I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the repayment claims in question were held for set off against outstanding liabilities for taxable periods May-June 1989 and July-August 1989.
Claims requiring set off are subject to the additional processing which delays repayment of any balance that may be due to the trader.
The set offs in this particular case have been finalised and a balance of £46,984.09 issued on 12 June 1990 to the person concerned.
