For those of you out there that don't know this, you can e-mail your local paye/tax office and ask them to check your taxes back as far as 2002(P21 balancing statement) then they will send you out a balancing statement and if they owe you money a check will come before the statement.

Use this link to fine the e-mail address of your loacal tax office, scroll to the bottom of the page where it says "Open Contact Locator:
Click here to use our Contact Locator." and just type in your pps number.

And e-mail them giving your pps number saying you want your taxes checked from 2002 till the present day, they will not go past 2002 as they are "statue barred" whatever the hell that means, but if you want you can invoke the "data protection act" to get records previous to 2002 if they have them.I am currently trying to get these records for myself so i will let you know what happens.

I did this and I got 4,000 euro back

(new car for me..woohoo) 1,400 of that was for 2005 alone, the robbing so and so's.

So do it, you could be owed some cash.

Enter your PPS here - https://www.revenue.ie/wiclo/details.jsp

That didn't really work for me. I got my orinal PPS number when I lived in Meath and that's the office the locator pulled up for me but I now live and work in Dublin. Any ideas?

You'll need to apply to the location registered with your PPS which is still your old address. Give it a go.

But any tax queries I've had in the last few years, I've had to contact Mount Street (I think it was) in Dublin City Centre. Very confusing. I don't reckon I'm owed anything back but I could be pleasantly surprised.

People should also note that you could also owe them money. I had to apply for one of these and ended up they wanted money.

dellas1979 · 20-02-2006, 10:04

Just did it there. Hopefully wont be owing any money. Have been living off stamps for about 10 months there and just started back to work about a month ago so dont know how that would work out. Cant believe that they owed you 1400 for 1 year though!
How handy.

paulocon · 20-02-2006, 10:13

4K!! How the hell did that happen?

Is it a mistake on your employer's part.
Did you sibmit any additional claims (refuse allowance etc...)

Did they give you a breakdown on how they arrived at that figure?

Kingmaker · 20-02-2006, 13:10

Could you post a draft of the e-mail you sent to them?

Just worried I may not get the wording right- you obviously did!!!

**dudara** · 20-02-2006, 15:20

It's worth having a quick glance over P60's and the like, especially if you work on a part-time or erratic basis.

srdb20 · 20-02-2006, 15:58

Alright lads i just sent mine off heres hoping i get something back...

Anybody have an idea of the time frame involved?

Sleepy · 20-02-2006, 17:30

Just sent mine off as well. Fingers crossed I don't owe any money at least!

chump · 21-02-2006, 00:18

me too,

just wondering if you got a reply from the email to say they were processing. I didn't, should I expect 1?
I'm tempted to ring up just to be sure!

srdb20 · 21-02-2006, 08:11

Ye i still havent heard anything confirming if its been accepted or not...

Think ill give it till the end of the week then ring up and ask if the application has been recieved!

Hoping i dont owe any money!!!

seamus · 21-02-2006, 08:50

I know for a fact that if I get one of these checks, I'll owe them €200, so I'm not going to

A previous employer of mine failed to deduct the correct amount of tax during the 6 weeks I worked for them.
