    Are you allowed claim more than 1 flat rate expense. Looking through the list I might be eligible to claim 3. Firefighter, Cardiac Technician and Respiratory and Pulmonary Function Technician. Also if I've not claimed for something I could have, how far back can I go and how do I do it? Thanks.

    you don't claim for these- they are done automatically by your employer where applicable

    They relate to the employment, so what you get depends on your job, not on what you are qualified to do.

    This is Revenue's note on them:

    "Flat Rate (employment) expenses

    "These are expenses that are incurred in the performance of the duties of the employment and are directly related to the 'nature of the employee's employment'. A standard flat rate expenses allowance (deduction) is set for various classes of employee. For example, airline cabin crews are granted flat rate expenses of €64 per annum. The amount of the deduction is agreed between Revenue and representatives of groups or classes of employees (usually the employees are represented by trade union officials). The agreed deduction is then applied to all employees of the class or group in question."

    If you start a job where a flat rate allowance exists you will probably have to make a claim in your first year.

    Tax Briefing 64 includes the allowance in the list of claims that can be made through PAYE Anytime.
