Tax Refund Due?

jaggiebunnet

Hi

Hoping someone might know a bit more than me. was calculating there my dues on my wage slip as you do just to understand things a bit more. went to one or two tax calculators to confirm my numbers and discovered something. Apparently I get a larger tax credit if I have a child in school? Apparently I get a larger one again if married (even if my spouse is working also?). Is this correct? Want to understand here before I apply for a refund (last time I chanced this it turned out I owed the tax man )

Thanks in advance.

No tax credit for children in Irl.

However, there is a Home Carers Tax credit.

Look it up on www.revenue.ie

relax carry on

Tax calculators aren't really any good to you unless you understand how the PAYE system works and even then they can be unreliable. Check out the below links for working it out yourself. I have also posted links re tax credits/reliefs linked to children.
