Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 20 May 2009
141 Deputy Michael Creed asked the Minister for Finance if he will approve a one parent family credit application by a person (details supplied) in County Cork which has been recently submitted to the Revenue Commissioners; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20432/09]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that a claim for the one parent family tax credit for the individual in question was processed on 13 May 2009, and the relevant refunds of tax will issue in the near future.
142 Deputy Olwyn Enright asked the Minister for Finance the timeframe for processing submissions by employers who apply for rebate on statutory redundancy; if his attention has been drawn to the delays in processing same; his views on permitting same to offset the refund due against any tax liability due with immediate effect; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20434/09]
Amharc ar fhreagraI presume that the Deputy is referring to the 60% statutory redundancy rebates scheme. This is in fact a matter for the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment, who administer the relevant scheme.
I am however aware that where a business is awaiting a statutory redundancy rebate and it is experiencing particular difficulties in meeting its tax obligations because of a delay in receiving the repayment, then subject to satisfactory evidence being provided of the repayment due and its quantum, the Revenue Commissioners will be accommodating in deferring for a reasonable period collection or enforcement action that would otherwise ensue in the event of delayed payment of tax.
