I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that they have examined the person's income tax affairs for the years 2005 and 2006 and have ascertained that the one parent family credit has been correctly included in her tax credits for the years in question.

However as she is in receipt of a lone parent allowance (which is a taxable source of income) her annual tax credits have been reduced to reflect this income. Accordingly, the inclusion of this income in the calculation of her credits has the effect of reducing her net take home pay.

As she has received her correct entitlements there is no refund due to her.
