Tax Refund and Casual work

Darth Floodric

I've been working the past 3 months on casual on the social welfare.The money I am earning has been heavily taxed due to the emergency tax I have to pay.I'm looking to claim this back and have found the form in which I've to fill out in order to do so.

http://www.revenue.ie/en/tax/it/forms/form12a.pdf

Part D asked about social welfare payment.I'm wondering will that affect my claim?If I say I'm on benefits for example will they deduct or cut x-amount of the money I'm trying to claim

It also asked for the weekly amount which cannot really be answered as it varies week to week?

Anyone any ideas?

Mr. Incognito

No,

It shouldn't.

You tax applies at your applicable rates.

Social welfare payments are taxable but the balancing is done in the P21 at the end of the year and will not affect the refund of emergency tax due.

Just fill out the form honestly and send it in.

If it varies write XXX min to XXX max a week.

Thanks for the reply.the question that remains for me is what is the story with getting my money back now that I've submitted my form.will I get a cheque in the post and will the tax cease in my next payslip

I wrote benefits but I don't know the difference

There is a difference ,...- Some benefits are taxable and most allowances are non-taxable .

It could determine whether you will pay tax or not .
