    Has anyone claimed back tax from NZ after returning to Ireland?
    Is there a limit as to long you can be back before still being allowed to claim?

    I filled in the forms just before I left NZ and then they forwarded on a cheque (to me in Ireland) for my taxback.

    Well actually first off they sent off a bill saying I owe $1000 but I rang up and queried it and it worked out they owed me something like $100 so they sent a cheque on.

    It's years since I worked there and was wondering if there was still a way to claim anything or if it is too late! (Probably) I started filling out the forms before I left but didn't have all the necessary docs and then left and got distracted.......

    I'd say check their website and/or send them an email.

    I've don it recently when I came back.

    Fill out an IR-3, an IR-886 & an IR-50 (I think - ghet them from the website). Just download the 2012 ones and change the date yourself on them. Then posted them, along with prove of airline tickets to IRD and about 5 weeks later got a cheque in the post - they'll be shut down over christmas I'd imagine

    was actually quite impressed with how easy it was

    I've done it this week and have been back since April 2011. There's no minimum / maximum time to claim... although the Tax Year needs to be over to claim for previous year.

    Again, as a previous poster said, they'll be closed for Christmas but reassured me not to worry (!) that I'd get money back my mid- to late January. Nice people to deal with....
