Getting tax certs abroad

    It's that time of year again.....time for tax returns here in the US.

    Our accountant has strongly advised us to declare the details of our earnings and taxes paid while we were in Ireland (Worked in Ireland January-May before moving here)

    The problem is that Revenue won't answer emails and the I really don't want to spend a fortune on a phone call (I know that calling the tax-man involves being on hold for at least 20 minutes and then being bounced around from one agent to another before eventually finding out nothing.)

    I appreciate that this is there way of being "secure" but it also makes it impossible to get the info we need. In hindsight we should have signed up for the online service, but even if we did they would only send mail to our old address which obviously wouldn't help.


    Anybody have any ideas?

    I know it's not much help since you said that you didn't really want to make a phone call, but if you called around 9 - 10.30 AM (GMT) you should get through pretty much straight away (don't forget to have your PPS number ready.) I guess another alternative would be to send a letter stating your change of address and then register online but that would probably take ages to get them to do.

    Of course, keep in mind that if you're Income Tax registered (that is, have income other than PAYE, such as self-employment or paying CGT for example, then it is the IT section you have to deal with.)

    Contact your former employer in Ireland. This month they should be issuing a P60 (end of year tax certificate) for every employee. You should get a copy and the Revenue should also get one. I'm not familiar with the Ireland/US tax agreements but if your tax payment is correct as of the end of year then the P60 may be sufficient.
