    At the end of the year I'm going to submit a Med1 form for expenses of just under 1K, does the rebate come in the form of credits or can you opt for a cheque refund

    Also, can you claim for A&E visits at €100 a pop, I suspect not though

    Thanks

    I think they give you the option of supplying bank details for them to pay the money into or else pay by cheque.

    And I think claiming the A&E is ok if you have receipts and did not claim them off anyone else (insurance etc)


    Not an expert / subject to usual disclaimers etc etc

    This comes up constantly here in relation to all PAYE refunds.

    I'll see if I can clear this up.

    If you are claiming additional tax reliefs or credit which relate to prior tax years, not the current tax year, then a refund issues to your bank account or cheque if one is warranted.

    An example. Claiming flat rate expenses incurred in 2012 today, would mean you are claiming a relief from a prior tax year.

    If you are claiming a tax credit or relief relating to the current tax year then Revenue cannot issue you a refund of tax paid in the current year as they don't know what tax you pay in a current tax year. Instead, they issue you and your employer an amended tax credit cert which may result in a refund of tax relating to the current tax year in your wages. It may also result in you paying less tax through the rest of the current tax year.

    An example. Claiming flat rate expenses incurred in 2013 today, would mean you are claiming a relief from the current tax year.
