I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the person named is currently taxed under PAYE on a private pension and his tax credits have been reduced to take account of a Department of Social Protection pension of €5750. In view of the age entitlements of the named individual, it is not however clear that the correct DSP pension amount has been included in the tax credit reduction, and Revenue will be in contact with the named individual to clarify the matter.
