Under the help to buy scheme as announced, although that measure has not been passed yet, first-time buyers will have to file a return for the previous four years, form 12. I presume it will be an online process. Is there an opportunity for the Revenue Commissioners to simplify it for the normal self-employed or multiple income earning, pay as you earn, PAYE, worker and how might that be improved for this particular programme? These will be people who probably have never filed a tax return in their lives.
