I propose to take Questions Nos. 262 and 266 together.

I have been advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the tax demand arose because of the incorrect operation of PAYE by one of the person's employers, who refunded tax to him in error. No tax was paid on the redundancy payments the person received as they were not taxable. No relief, therefore, is due in this regard. However, there is a further minor adjustment due to him which will reduce the underpayment to €5,797.94. A revised demand will issue shortly. The Revenue Commissioners have also written to the person with a full explanation.
