168. Deputy Jack Wall asked the Minister for Finance the reasons the tax credit of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare was adjusted; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [4045/16]

I am advised by Revenue that the tax credits for the person concerned were adjusted to deal with underpayments of tax which were reflected in PAYE Balancing Statements issued in June last year. The matter has been discussed with the person concerned and the adjustment has been spread over a longer timeframe to minimise the financial impact.
