I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the delay in this case arose in part from the need for additional supporting documentation. The relevant tax return (for 2011) was submitted through ROS by the taxpayer's agent on 15th November 2012. Revenue advised the agent on 4th December 2012 of the need for further documentation, and the requested documentation was received on February 28th 2013. The delay since that date is regretted, and is due to a temporary seasonal backlog of cases. The case has now been examined, and a refund will issue within a few days.
