240. To ask the Minister for Finance the reason why community employment scheme workers are not liable for tax but those working for Tús are; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [46715/17]

I am advised by Revenue that income arising from participation in a Community Employment Scheme is liable to income tax and that such income is, in fact, taxed under the PAYE system.

If the Deputy is aware of a situation whereby participants in a Community Employment Scheme are not paying income tax, he should provide relevant details to Revenue who will examine the matter.
