This has to do with income tax. My Department has received no notice of tax credits for the person named. It is therefore legally bound to deduct tax from her pension at the emergency rate.

The person named should contact her local tax office in order to obtain a notice of tax credits. When my Department receives the notice, it will make the appropriate adjustments and if too much tax has been deducted it will be refunded to her.
