Tax Credit Certificates.

We have had a lot of enquiries from our clients as to why employees were not receiving an updated certificate of Tax Credits and Standard Rate Cut-Off Point for 2011. While there has been no general announcement from Revenue, it appears that employee tax credit certificates will only be issued on request.
