Ms Josephine Feehily:

C2 certificates are no longer required following the introduction of the electronic relevant contracts tax system, eRCT. What householders will require is a printout from the eRCT system showing that we have given the contractor a tax rate of 0% or 20%. They will also require the contractor's VAT number and a tax clearance certificate of a recent date. Pictures of such documents are available for householders in the booklet which is being distributed through all Revenue offices, citizens' advice centres and so on.
