You could be due a refund!

Just thought I would share my experience...

I am PAYE empoyee and every year the revenue send me a form to fill out. For the last few years I hadn't bothered, one thing after another and anyway I forgot. I despise filling in forms.

Anyway, I decided to fill in 2010 after a reminder came in post. I got a letter a few days later saying I was owed over 2000 euros and that I needed to send in the other forms from previous years. I did that as quick as I could. Got a check for 3000 today. So 5,000 euros for 3 years.

Can clear some credit cards now and have a few euros to spend for a change

what form are you on about

P21 I think, you can simply write to the revenue to ask if you're due cash back. Similar to the above, I got 2K for 3 years

Personally I just emailed this crowd:

with my PPS number and they did everything from there

Quick word of warning - these forms work both ways. (Meaning it could actually turn out that you've underpaid and owe the revenue money!)

Forgot to mention that, my cousin did the same after I got my money and ended up owing 200 quid. Just so you know!

In my case the form I needed to fill out was Form 12 you can download from their website. A lot of the questions are not applicable, but if you fill in main things like salary and tax paid (see your P45/60) .. Send it into your local office and there you go... give it a few weeks sometimes. The girl i spoke to said they were a bit behind...

I was expecting a few hundred maybe but have a check in my hand for 3000 and another for 2000 on its way. Missus got a few hundred refunded as well.


May work against you but if you are just doing PAYE work and nothing else and have no other means of income then you are probably safe. The people who got stung most likely had undeclared income that they put on the form and when this was taken into account they ended up owing.

Anyway hope someone gets some money back.. nice to get money you didnt you had!

You have to fill out one form per year, they have the differnt years on their site.
