Mr. Niall Cody:
There are certain areas where we do not know what a person is entitled to claim, for example, medical expenses, given that we do not know what medical expenses a person has. By 5 January, we will know from our data who has apparently overpaid tax, and that information will be made available.
I hesitate to talk about this because there is an expert beside me who probably designed and implemented the system and was responsible for it. Ms Kennedy may have some interesting statistics.
