Tax Error in Work

    Hey guys,

    I started a new job in July. Submitted my P45 and all that, new tax credit certificates issued, all was going well with regard to getting off emergency tax.

    Was counting on getting a full pay cheque without any tax at the end of october however due to an error my P45 was processed twice and as a result my earnings to date on the computer system were twice of what they should've been, meaning that I was taxed very heavily and only received €1000 euro for my months wages.

    The result is that in the last 3 months I've paid over €3000 in tax. More than a months wages for me.

    Anyway I hoping someone who is familiar with the workings of the tax system will be able to answer my question.

    I need this 3000 euro as the bills are mounting up, however normally I should only pay about 250 a month in tax so even if I pay no tax in Novemer and December I still wont be equal.

    Can my employer pay me back the tax, meaning I will get a pay cheque in excess of my normal monthly wage or will I have to wait until I get my P60 (are these issued in January?) and file for a balancing statement in 2009?

    If I have to wait until 2009 to get the money back I'll be in a bad state as I wont be able to clear my credit card and keep up loan repayments. Looks like my finances are going the way of the nations!! :rolleyes:

    You'll get a refund of the tax, i.e. your next pay cheque should be huge.

    I used to do payroll.

    You should get it all back in your next pay cheque. Have you spoken to your boss or payroll about this? I would ask them to correct their error and rerun last month's payroll and get them to pay you the balancing amount asap.

    Well having dealt with Revenue for over 10 years my take on it is....
    Your employer cannot issue you a tax refund without the go ahead from Revenue, basically because if they issue you the refund and then Revenue decide your not entitled to it or the figure could differ etc....
    I am taking it that it is the Revenue who are at fault here, as you have received your new tax credit certs! If this is the case get onto the tax office asap because this time of year is manic for them..... to ensure you get it sorted this side of Christmas. This should not have happened and even though you get paid monthly they can redeem whats due to you mid month!!
    Hope that helps and you get sorted soon enough :)
