claming back tax

zuber

Hi

I worked in Ireland for 4 months the june to sept 2014, I then left and was told I could claim back tax i paid, on september 25 2014 i filled out a form, a p50 I think, so almost 5 months still no word from the tax office and they dont answer e-mails
Is that normal?

Thanks

Well as a non-resident you'll need to send them a statement of your earnings for the year from wherever you are resident, you'll only be due tax credits based on what percentage of your total earnings for the year were earned in Ireland.

i submitted a P50 form about 5 weeks ago as i was working in ireland for 6 months last year and i got a refund in my bank account a few days ago, i work offshore now in the uk month on month off, there was a section on the form alright asking about earning from abroad and i just put down i was gone travelling for a year in numerous country's, glad i did put that down now as i got a fair whack of dosh back

If you had been resident and working in Ireland up until leaving halfway through the year that would go through alright, someone arriving in the middle of the year then leaving shortly after is in a different boat though.

As you couldn't have submitted a statement for the year from your country of residence until 2014 had ended it couldn't have been done 5 months ago.

Send that to them with a note asking for a review of your Irish tax paid.

Ok, I will be in Ireland later in march and will call in to them

Have you tried phoning them? I always find that they're quite helpful when you get them on the end of a line.
