Government to clarify wage subsidy tax liability of workers in coming weeks

Galway Bay fm newsroom - The Government says it will try make people's tax liability under the wage subsidy scheme clearer in the coming weeks.

It's after it came to light that people being paid through the scheme are not being taxed at source.

Instead they will likely be faced with a Revenue bill at the end of the tax year.

Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe says people won't pay more tax than they normally would.
