I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that a single person's certificate of tax credits and standard rate cut-off point, granting single person's tax credits and the appropriate standard rate band in respect of the tax year 2008, issued to the person in question on 12 April 2008.

There was no tax paid in 2004 by the person and tax credits granted for the tax years 2005 and 2006 were under allowed. Arrangements have been made to issue PAYE balancing statements for these years to the person and the appropriate refunds will be made shortly.

The Revenue Commissioners have no details of pay and tax for the person in question for the tax year 2007 so if a P60 can be submitted for that year, a review of tax deducted will be carried out.

Tax relief in respect of mortgage interest is now granted at source and the person in question is currently in receipt of that relief from her mortgage provider.
