    Why is this credit marked "claimed" in my PAYE account when I haven't received any tax back and I'm still deducted a certain amount each payslip?

    Thanks.

    Because its already been claimed.

    You'd be paying about €33 a week more tax if it wasnt already being applied.

    Because it's part of the paye system. Each paye worker is granted a personal and paye credit at the start of every tax year. This information is sent to your employer which allows them to tax you correctly. If you didn't already have the paye credit "claimed" you would be paying far more tax.
    Refunds if tax are generated a few different ways, claiming tax relief on certain items like health expenses, claiming refunds of emergency tax when it was operated for some reason by your employer and possibly incorrect information held by your employer or Revenue which caused you to be overtaxed.

    Thanks a lot for the tips... I've been getting taxed at 41%. I need to fill out Form 12A. I'll get the money back though I hope..?
