    Hi, I am a 20 year old male, currently in the middle of a 4 year business studies degree & I just started my first job, with Dealz Ireland.

    The contract is for 16 hours a week but since I started work I have been getting an average of 31.5 hours per week, which is great.

    The problem I have is that I am on emergency tax for the 6th week now and I am being deducted 41% of my pay-check every week.

    I filled out the 12A form & received my tax credits from revenue in the post. The week after I received it, my next pay-slip showed that I am still paying emergency tax. I would have thought that now that I have my tax credits that I would be no longer paying emergency tax? Maybe it will be sorted in this coming Friday's pay-slip? (I could really do with the full weeks wages before Xmas!)


    Up to date, I have paid €650 in emergency tax, do I get this back?

    If so, how much of it is usually paid back, how do I claim for it & when will I get it back?


    If anyone can help with this I would be very grateful. (I did ask my employer but he wasn't very helpful!!).


    Thanks.

    Yes, you will get it back - eventually.

    If it's not in this Friday's pay (or next, if there is one), then you will have to wait 'til you get your P60 for the year, then contact Revenue (hint: registering for ROS is a good idea, lots quicker that way) and ask for a balancing statement.

    Try to make contact with someone in payroll who can tell you when your tax-credits cert is likely to be applied - sometimes this can take companies a while. (It shouldn't, but does.)
