I appreciate that tax is a matter for Revenue but to be clear, when the PUP was introduced in March, it was introduced under section 202 of the 2005 Act. It is very clear from Revenue that anything listed under urgent needs is not taxable so I am trying to ascertain given that was in situin the legislation. It feels like there is going to be a bit of back tracking here and people will be taxed from March to August when it is very clear that under section 202, it is not taxable.
