Cancelled Rent Relief - Paid Extra Tax This Month

    Hi,

    Just wondering if anyone can shed some light on this before I pursue further.

    I was taxed over €250 extra this month. I contacted my payroll department who advised that this was due to new details received by them from revenue.

    The change in details was triggered by me cancelling my rent relief as I'm no longer in rented accommodation (not 100% sure on this but it is the only change I'm aware of)

    Payroll have advised that i was taxed extra this month as it is based "on my new details from the beginning of the year to date".
    Is this correct?

    I thought credits for rent relief and the like were based on a yearly total spread out over each month. Therefore if i cancel, I have only cliamed my credits for the months to date. I havent claimed the rest of the years as these months havent passed yet, so I'm not sure how I could taxed for something I havent claimed

    I am correct in thnking this or am i totally out?

    Thanks in advance

    Hi Technofreek

    I believe you are correct and it is indeed calculated on an annual basis but allowed on a monthly basis for PAYE purposes.

    You can either adjust your tax credits or claim back on your tax return at the end of the year.

    Kind Regards
