Hey guys thanks for the responses I would like to update the thread from the original post now I have more information.

I spoke to the guy I was working for and he said he employed me on a contract basis and I was to make my own tax returns if I needed to.

I was working part time during the summer as I am student. I was working at most one day a week with not working some weeks at all. I would often work from home so at the end of each month I would send an invoice so to speak with the hours I had worked.

I am returning to college now and would like to make sure I am on top things with regards tax.

I have earned in the region of 800e over 12 weeks. I do not have work anywhere else and as mentioned I am returning to college soon.

I would be grateful for any advice regards paying tax if applicable?

Thanks

BD

Hi

Complete a form 12 after the end of the year and submit it to your local tax office. Download the form from revenue.ie. Wait for the notice of assessment to issue and pay the tax assessed. If this is your only source of income I would expect little or no tax to be due.

Hope this helps

Thanks dbran,

One last question, next year I will be still a student going through college and the grant system. As I wasnt an employee of the company will the fact that I had to make my own tax return impact my eligibility for the grant(i'm sure this is not your area). Would me working this summer classify myself as been self employed?

The grant is means tested I believe. e800 is not gonna make much difference unless you were already close to whatever limit they use.

So employment status does not matter - means does.
