Emergency Tax Question!! :(

neil_hosey

Hi there,

I left it a bit late to change over to a new company which i started with at the start of the month. I rang the revenue last friday and gave them the new companies number! But new place done wages on monday so i wasnt showing up.

They are saying ill be on emergency tax and im wondering how much im going to pay Ive had a look through boards history and internet and couldnt find a calculator

Would anyone know how much im going to clear this month, if the normal monthly net pay is 2396?

Since the tax credits changed this year im afraid im going to get serious emergency tax yes?


Thanks !
Neil

In the 1st month the system is quite gentle - assuming you give them your PPS number. I reckon you'll pay €341.20 pf PAYE.

If it goes to a 2nd month you'll lose the small tax credit.

In the 3rd month they will collect tax at 41% on everything. Ouch!

Once you're properly on the system your employer will refund anything you've overpaid - and that should be in month 2. Revenue are pretty quick at getting new certs out these days.

ask your new employer to ring Revenue and get your tax credits over the phone, which can be followed up by official notification of your credits. we do this the whole time for new employees and never have had to put someone on emergency tax.

Hi, sorry to tag on to this thread but didn't want to start a new one with this on the first page (search function didn't help me)

Basically I've been emergency taxed since November in Ireland and am looking for the procedure to remedy this.

Between 2009 and 2010 I was working in the UK. I was paying tax in the UK from Jan 1st 2010 until September 2010. I then started work in the Republic in November 2010. I gave my P45 from HM Revenue's & Customs, my National Insurance Number for the UK, and my PPS number to my employee at the time. (I last paid tax in Ireland in August 2009)

Today, my 5th pay check, I finally noticed that I have been emergency taxed all along. My question is how do I remedy this and how much do I get back as I have paid thousands in tax since November.

I had 2 months tax in 2010, and 3 in 2011. Is this the same claim? I think I should be entitled to all of 2010 back as I only worked 2 months of the year in the State, as well as the emergency portion of 2011, is this correct?

Right now I think my best course of action is to go back to the revenue and submit again a form 12a, Application for a Certificate of Tax Credits and Standard Rate Cut-Off Point? I just don't understand why I need to do this again if I have paid tax in 2005,2006,2007,2008 and 6 months of 2009 in the Republic? Shouldn't I still have the same tax credits in place even though I was working abroad for 3 months in 2009 and 9 in 2010?

Or is there something I'm missing? Any help on getting pointed in the right direction is HUGELY appreciated. Please, treat me like an infant I have no idea of this stuff and never really read payslips before. Also, I only passed my college tax exam by compensation. There's a lesson here for me somewhere......

Hi Neil,

You need to submit P45 along with PPS number, there are no refunds of tax while you are on emergency tax. Any overpayment of tax will be refunded when the cumulative basis of tax is applied. Monthly tax credit wld be e138 n 2nd moth onwards tax cerdit wld be e0...sending you some examples for ur ready ref..excel sheet is an example on a weekly basis...

Please refer this link to download the calculator : taxcalc.eu/.../Excel%202007%20version-%20Employee%20PAYE%20calculator.xlsm


Hope it helps..

Cheers,

thanks very much KY

8 - 10, the tax you paid in 2010 in Ireland can possibly be reclaimed by asking revenue for a balancing statement for 2010, although the fact you worked in UK might have a bearing on how much you be entitled to get back as there is probably a dual tax system in place, I don't know.

As for 2011 tax - you need to new tax credits for this year. The credit/cut off figures used in the past years when you worked in Ireland are irrelevant now, firstly as there has been a number of budgets since then and secondly, your personal circumstances of what you can claim for might well have changed and revenue wouldn't be able to assume what you are entitled to. Ring revenue and give them your PPS number, your employers registered number and ask for your credits/cut offs for 2011. As you have already worked in Ireland (even though its a while ago) you might not have to completed Form 12A. You could also ask your employer to ring Revenue on your behalf and speed things up. To be honest, I'm surprised they have left you on emergency tax so long. I would have imagined that by now they would have alerted you to your emergency status and how to fix it up.
