Help....emergency taxed

shabalala

Hope someone can help me, i started a part time job in nov 2011 after my last employer went out of business, i didnt have a p45 for my current employer and sent back the relevant p12 form i think. Ive been emergency taxed since i started and want to get it sorted now and claim back whats owed. My employer told me to contact the taxation office. Surely its my employers duty? many thanks

It really is your current employer's responsibility because we're in a new tax year, but get your employer's number, ring up revenue anyway and inform them of who your employer is. They'll send a certificate of tax credits for 2012 to your employer, who should refund you any overpaid tax for 2012.

For the tax you've paid in 2011, you will need to request revenue to check your tax for 2011 and issue a P21 balancing statement. They will then also send out a refund of any tax you overpaid at the end of last year.

You can either do it using PAYE anytime (online service) or by calling the Revenue Commissioners.
