Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 5 March 2009
84 Deputy Jack Wall asked the Minister for Finance if a person (details supplied) in County Kildare will be furnished with a P21 balancing statement for 2007; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9317/09]
Amharc ar fhreagraI have been advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the taxpayer is jointly assessed with her spouse for income tax purposes. Her spouse is self-employed and therefore, as a chargeable person, must submit an annual Tax Return. A Tax Return Form 11 for 2007 has been received by Revenue and a Notice of Assessment issued to the person's spouse dated 25 November 2008. (As the person's spouse is registered for income tax the appropriate statement is a Notice of Assessment rather than a P21. Her income is included on the Notice of Assessment.)
85 Deputy Ciarán Lynch asked the Minister for Finance further to Parliamentary Question No. 94 of 5 February 2009, the procedure by which the person referred to may avail of the exemption which appears to be applicable to this couple; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9321/09]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that, after the end of the 2009 year, a straightforward procedure will be in place to allow those couples entitled to the age exemption to claim repayment of income levy deducted in 2009, subject to their personal income being less than the married exemption threshold of €40,000. Arrangements to publicise the procedures will be highlighted in the media, Aertel and the Revenue website.
Question No. 86 answered with Question No. 83.
