Miscalculation by Finance ‘denies funds to working poor’
Social Justice Ireland has said the department over-estimated by 95% the cost of a proposal to make tax credits refundable to low-income households.
The director of Social Justice Ireland, Fr Seán Healy, said making tax credits refundable to the working poor would benefit 113,000 low-income individuals, or 240,000 people when their families are included.
