David Stanton
Ceist:174 Deputy David Stanton asked the Minister for Finance the number of persons availing of the incapacitated child tax credit; the number who availed of same in 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9049/10]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the number of claimants availing of the incapacitated child tax credit is 11,000 for the income tax year 2006, the most recent year for which final information is available. I am further advised by the Revenue Commissioners, that they are not in a position to provide the data requested by the Deputy for the years 2007 to 2009.
The numbers availing of the credit represent income earners who were in a position to absorb at least some of the tax credit and thereby give rise to an Exchequer cost. They do not include the numbers of potential claimants whose entitlements to other tax credits were sufficient to reduce their tax liability to nil. The numbers availing are rounded to the nearest hundred. I should be noted that a married couple who has elected or has been deemed to have elected for joint assessment is counted as one tax unit.
