    Try the Work & Jobs forum.

    Essentially, you contact the Revenue and ask for a balancing statement for the year in question. Bear in mind that at this time of year they can be quite busy. I think that you also need to provide a copy of your P60 from last year which you employer should have issued you with, or will be issuing you with soon.

    I found the best way is to go to your local tax office and they will sort it out there and then Iyou are due a refund a cheque will be in the post very soon after visiting the tax office. thats my own experience, hope you find it helpful

    Email the revenue and request a P21 balancing statement. While you're at it request the previous 4 years (5 years is as far back as they can go).

    Remember if you owe them money they will take it as well as if they owe you money refunding it.

    I did this last year, and requested the previous few years as well, ended up getting around 400 euro.

    We had the fancy beans on granary toast that evening :p

    [FONT=&quot]I am from South Canada. My friend is my potential business partner. We both work as chemist for a large company. We are looking into the possibility of opening our own chemical plant in order to have more creative freedom with our experience. But neither of us have the economic resources to fund a new business, we want to find out government grant money and really need your help to go about getting it. [/FONT]

    Tell you what, wire me $20,000 and I'll get back to you:cool: In the meantime, can I interest you in a brochure which explains how to sell snow in Siberia and how to sell gum in the lockjaw ward in Beaumont??

    IT loser - watch the sarcasm!

    RE: Canada lady - contact the Dept. Enterprise , trade and employment www.entemp.ie for information or Enterprise Ireland (try googling them). Since yout post had nothing to do with tax refunds and isoff topic, you should have created a separate thread to deal with it - not hijacking anothers post.
