3 jobs -> 1 Job, tax nightmare

lil*lady

Hey all, looking for a wee bit of help.

Last year I work 3 jobs at the same tim (and a rather limited social life). Then in January I left all 3 (yaay) and started a new job, which so far is going brilliantly. The one snag is that I'm being taxed a lot- a hell of a lot. I gave my employer my P45 from the job that I earned most of my wages when I started in January, but I'm still being taxed. Anyone ever been in this/a similar situation before? What do I need to do to stop getting taxed! Help!

I work Mon-Fri and I need to keep my phone free for work stuff so I can't call them, but I have tomorrow morning off, I live in the South Dublin area-Rathfarnham/Knocklyon area so my local office would be Tallaght, but if I showed up in Mount St would they turn me away? Just it'd be easier for going straight from there to work.

All help appreciated, thank you!

For last year ask for a p21 balancing statement. You may not need 1 but if you ask for this they will know what you should have paid last year. You should have P60s form each job by now better bring those with you.

You need to apply your tax credit to your jobs in proportion to the amount you are earning in each job. The tax office should be able to do this on the spot based on your earnings. You can always change this again if your being taxed too much on 1 job.

It's actually really easy to sort once you do it once.

Good luck

If your local office won't deal with you get them to explain what you need and take the phone no for the local office. It will only take 10mins on the phone.

Good luck

I think the Mount St. office has closed for visitors. There is another office somewhere just off O'connell St

first things first - as others said to get your emergency tax back you need to do the above with your P21 etc. however in the mean time as your employer for their tax number and registration details. then ring the tax office and give them your PPS no and the employer details. They should be able to take you off emergency tax immediately. It looks like your employer has not sent on your P45 for you. Soem employers are really slack at this, and they don't care that your earnings are badly affected. Make sure you let the tax office know you provided your employer with a P45 over 3 mths ago. If they continue to drag their heels sending in your details to the tax office they will chave them for it - but at least you won't be left on emergency tax.

On the bright side, think of the nice big rebate you'll get!
