I have been advised by the Revenue Commissioners that details of the 2015 tax credits were issued to the person's pension provider in December 2014.  These tax credits were based on the information available to Revenue at that time.

The total tax credits of €2,090 for 2015 are less than those available to the person concerned for 2014, as the tax credit for rent paid is reduced due to the phasing out of the relevant relief introduced in the Finance Act 2011.
