Amharc ar fhreagra241. Deputy Arthur Spring asked the Minister for Finance the reason the Revenue Commissioners have refused a company (details supplied) a tax clearance certificate on the basis that it has a corporation tax return outstanding in view of the fact that this company has not registered for corporation tax; the reason the Revenue Commissioners refused to take into consideration that the company wrote to the Revenue Commissioners in October 2012 and May 2013 without response ; and if this issue will be resolved on a permanent basis. [40333/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 236 and 241 together.
I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that although the community group taxpayer referred to was initially refused a tax clearance certificate, the necessary certificate was issued on 18 August 2014. I am further advised that the Commissioners have contacted the group in question to invite them to progress an application for Charitable Tax Exemption which appears to be more appropriate in this case.
Regarding the agent involved, the Commissioners advise me that they have put arrangements in place to provide a single point of contact for all of his contacts and correspondence with a view to providing a more streamlined and coherent service.
