I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the benefit received by the person came from an estate in England. The solicitor acting on her behalf did not have a PPS Number for the deceased and had to apply to the Client Identity Service of the Department of Social Community and Family Affairs for a PPS number.

Because of the delay in obtaining a PPS number and due to an oversight the refund application was not processed in January 2006. A refund will issue to the person's solicitor on 2 October 2006. The refund will include an amount in respect of interest which is due to late payment.

I have been advised by the Revenue Commissioners that further information is required in this case and that the taxpayer has agreed to forward the necessary documentation concerning the deduction of tax from his retirement monies. On receipt of same, any repayment due to him will be processed without delay.

I understand that in this case no tax is due for 2005 and the tax already paid will be refunded.

For 2006, I am told that it is likely that no tax will be due, given their income and the tax credits to which they are entitled. A certificate of tax credits and standard rate cut off point issued to the person's employer on 7 March showing the correct tax credits due.

During 2007 the couple will be entitled to the appropriate exemption for married couples over the age of 65, which is currently €34,000, and are unlikely to pay any tax based on current information.
