There were no changes made to tax credits in Budget 2015. However the USC rates and thresholds were changed for 2015.
I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that, having regard to the circumstances of the person concerned, as known to them, the USC payable would have been expected to reduce by approximately €9 per month, as compared to 2014.
The person concerned can request a review of his tax liability for 2015 after the end of the year to ensure that, having regard to all of his circumstances, the correct deductions were made.
