Tax credits

Greenmachine

My blood is boiling as I am writing this. I requested a pin to manage my tax credits online. Started a job there a while ago and after waiting a few week finally managed to get a pin from the revenue. It is my first job in this tax year but I have worked in previous years. None of my previous contributions are showing up.

I am getting a message in the past tense saying "you are not eligible for any tax credit in 2014 unless you were in employment in the year" I have been provided with no option to input my employer information, or to even claim credits. I haven't waited weeks for the pin to be told I need to register in my local tax office. Wtf!!!!!!

Your employer has to register you as an employee, tell them to sort it out.

Okay what about claiming the credit themselves. Surely revenue is supposed to issue me a certificate to provide to my employer.

Yes. But the main tax credit you care about is the PAYE one, which you will only get once you are registered as an employee.

You should be more worried about the fact that your employer has not registered you, and thus is not paying any tax for you at all.

Ring the revenue employers helpline in the morning, giving them your PPS number and the employers registration number and they will issue you with a tax credit certificate. You may be on hold for a while though.

The online system allows taxpayers to manage their credits and rate bands themselves once there is an employment on record in the year they are trying to manage. Your 2014 employment has not been registered by your employer or yourself yet so you can't assign credits etc to it.

The online system does not allow taxpayers to update their own employment record. You will have to contact Revenue yourself or have your employer register the employment.
Once the employment is registered, your standard credits and rate band are assigned to you automatically.

Assumed I would have been able to register my employment myself once I got my pin, but nothing there letting me do that.
