Tax back

SteffingHell

Maybe I'm being really stupid, but I started a new job in November and my new boss told me I was owed tax back and gave me a number to ring. I rang the number and they were not helpful at all on the phone and told me to wait until the new year. When I look on the revenue.ie website about tax back, it seems to only have an option for unemployed people claiming tax back?

I had a quick glance at the sticky thread there and I don't think that applies to me?

I'm so confused, and my boss said I should be owed about €400!?

Can anyone tell me exactly what to do? I'm still working.

Request a P21 balancing statement for 2013 from them. If you are registered for PAYE anytime, you can request it online.

And then what do I do with that?

You don't do anything else. Once you get your balancing statement, it'll show how much tax your owed or not. If you've given your bank details on 'paye anytime', whatever you're owed will be credited to your account. If you didn't submit bank details, you'll get a check sent out.

Sorry to hijack the thread, OP, but can I ask;

My dad's been working in the same place for a while now. He reckons that over the years he's overpaid on his taxes 'excessively' (knowing him, he probably made a mistake and owes them money :rolleyes: ).

But I was wondering, if I were to try and help him out with getting a P21, can you go back in the years with it? (ie; ive heard you can claim back up to 4 years previous, but not sure how to?)

You can now only claim back for a max of 4 yrs. However if he owes Revenue, they can go back as far as they want. Figure that one out:).

Sounds about right! :rolleyes: :P

Can he go back 4 years on a single P21, though? or does he need a form per year?
