Have been emergency taxed a year into employment?

    Ok so I got paid my wages today, checked it on my phone this morning and new instantly the amount was incorrect. I asumed the employer had omitted my expenses and car allowance. Spoke to my employer in the UK and they said they would look into. They rang me to say that the amount I had received was incorrect and they would talk to the company who do the transfer payment here in Ireland ( as they are based in the UK they outsource our payments to a company over who know the Irish tax system)

    So I get home from work and my pay slip is waiting for me. I opened up to see that the net pay is what I had received. :eek:

    So I am here trying to figure out the tax deductions ( doesnt help that it isn't printed correctly) and I am stumped. The tax dedcutions are not even adding up, by the tax deductions they have I should have received even less! I have paid 1189e in PAYE which I can only assume is emergency tax at that rate. I have been employment for a year with this company.

    By my calulations I have been left short by 800e but I can't make head nor tails of this pay slip between employee and employer prsi and paye.

    Usually with emergency tax ( from previous jobs) you have to wait till the following month to get it back but this is November and I planned on doing my christmas shopping with this money next week. Can I demand they pay me back before then?


    Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated thanks

    If your employer has a tax credit certificate for you then you are unlikely to be on emergency tax. If they don't have a tax credit certificate then you probably are on emergency tax, and that's how you will stay until they do have a certificate. There's no "demanding" that they do anything if they have been operating the system properly.

    If Revenue have issued you a certificate do check that your employer has it - only yesterday we came across a case where Revenue had put the wrong employer's tax reference on a certificate and emergency tax was being operated. It only took a simple phone call to put right.
