Revenue Tax Credits

    Not sure if this is the right place for this.. but

    I applied for a refund of tax credits from the revenue. I have a daughter who was born in November 2005, but forgot to claim credits for her until now. So I sent the forms to the revenue on 8th September for the last four years. I got the letter last Friday and it was dated 17th saying its been accepted and the payment will be made to my account. No mention of how much or when.

    So Just wondering first will I receive a refund for the tax credits for this year so far or do I have to wait until next year to claim it back. And roughly how long it takes the revenue to process this
    Thanks

    usually depends on how busy they are - sorry I know that's no help, but you could get a cheque in the post next week, or you could be waiting on it for a while. We claimed tax credits online a while ago and they were very prompt, and sent out a cheque to cover the overpayment we had made within the space of about 2-3 weeks. It seems to take longer if you do it via snail-mail or dropping forms into the office direct, the online version seems to function quicker.

    Yep. You can apply online as far as I know. I applied through the post and filled in form OP1.. Well this is the one I filled in it may be a different one if your married. AFAIK you can claim for the last four years. You can check if you are already getting the credit by checking your Tax credits form you should have got at the start of the year. Its a yellow form.
