Someone told me I should i be checking if i am due any tax back on my social welfare payments?? Surely this cant be right??!!

It's a taxable income in the sense that it reduces your tax credits, so if you start working again you have less tax credits. Social welfare are unable to tax any payments so you would not have paid any tax.

You want to see if you are due any PAYE back of which you are paying.......none. Is that right?

Hi Imahoney79,

You might find the following link regarding income tax and unemployment helpful. A form P50 can be used to claim back PAYE income tax.
