PQ 148
148. Deputy Bríd Smith asked the Minister for Finance the reason workers are facing tax bills from the administration of the temporary wage subsidy scheme when the instruction to the employers was to top-up wages only to normal net amounts, effectively meaning a cut in gross pay and a saving to employers; if he will examine this position again in view of the fact that workers now facing tax bills received no improvement in their take home pay but are now presented with a tax bill; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
