Employer gave me wrong P60 - now I owe revenue money on tax back recieved

jenjoeful

Hey
So I changed jobs in February, at this time I was issued a p60 from my old employer. I then applied for my p21 to be informed of tax back that i was owed of 1087 - which was welcomed!

As it turns our my old employer completed my P60 incorrectly stating a wrong amount of earnings, (less than I actually did) revenue have found out and want me to repay the money I received.

I gather I have to repay, but is it at all possible fro me to be able to implicate my previous employer and have them pay it back? i really cannot afford to pay it right now!

Any suggestions/words of wisdom?

No. The person that got the money has to pay it back - that would be you.

You might be able to agree a schedule for repayment with the Revenue Commissioners- for example, they could reduce your credits for the next 12 months (or maybe just for the remainder of the current year) by the amount you now owe and let you 'spread the pain' a little.
