Written Answers - Tax Rebate.
I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the amount of tax refunded to the taxpayer is correct on the basis of the information currently available.
The taxpayer's tax free allowances in the current year amount to £3,500. His total income is £6,287. This includes amounts in respect of unemployment benefit and disability benefit which are both taxable although paid gross, without deduction of tax, by the Department of Social Welfare. The amount of tax due on his total income is £752.49, while the amount of tax paid was £815.59. The refund of £63.10 is therefore correct.
