SENIOR OFFICIALS from the Revenue Commissioners will be asked to explain before an Oireachtas committee this week why it sent letters seeking payment of extra tax from pensioners who in many cases have no tax liability.
Revenue Commissioners chairwoman Josephine Feehily and officials from the Department of Social Protection will face questions from TDs and Senators at what is likely to be a robust meeting of the Oireachtas committee on finance on Wednesday. The handling of the issue has also sparked a political row about whether the Government knew in advance that pensioners would be targeted for tax in this way.
Fianna Fáil finance spokesman Michael McGrath said the move formed part of last months’s budget strategy, but Ministers chose not to tell older people, to avoid criticism.
“The Government made a political choice not to reveal the details of the initiative at budget time and instead allowed the Revenue to scare the living daylights out of thousands of pensioners around the country this week,” Mr McGrath said.
