77. To ask the Minister for Finance the reason a person (details supplied) has had their tax credits adjusted by the Revenue Commissioners and are deemed to owe tax according to their employer. [29383/16]

I am advised by Revenue that the person concerned had her tax credits reduced to reflect the fact that she was in receipt of  Maternity Benefit, Job Seekers Benefit and One Parent Family Payment. Revenue would expect that, notwithstanding the reduction in tax credits, based on her current earnings the person would not be due to pay tax. Revenue will make direct contact with the employer concerned to clarify matters and confirm the position as regards liability to tax for the person concerned.
