Tax Student work placement

callaway92

Hi folks,

Not quite sure if I'm totally mistaken or not, but I'm after receiving my first payment for my student work placement which is paid monthly.

I was paid for a full month and my net payment included PAYE & EE USC (as per the payslip).

However, using the Deloitte Tax calculator it basically reads that I should only be paying USC and no PAYE.

Is this a mistake or should I definitely be paying PAYE too?

Thanks and apologies if my explanation wasn't great.

Did you contact Revenue and tell them you started a new job?

If this is your first job, did you complete a form 12a, and send this in?

If not to either of the above, your on emergency tax. The tax calculator is meant for use on a normal tax basis

Hiya,

Thanks for the reply. No it's not my first job, however it is my first taxed job in Ireland for about 2 years. Last 2 jobs have been in the UK (summer roles).

No I didn't contact revenue to let them know I started a new job. Lapse on my part thinking the situation would be different for a full-time student. Would it be my local department for social welfare I should ring or is there a national number I should ring? Also, what information about the company will I need to provide them with?

Thanks for your help

use the above to see which revenue office deals with your area.

get the employer's registered number and have that to hand, with your start date and your own PPS when you ring them.

in revenue terms there is no difference whether you are a full time or part time student or afull time/part time worker. It all depends on how much you will earn during the year.

Once you ring revenue, you'll get sorted pretty quickly and should get the tax you have paid refunded to you in pay packet. You will have built up 5 months of unused allowances (Jan/June 2015)

for future - Revenue deals with all tax issues, Social Welfare is just for Welfare

2 different departments who should but don't communicate very well with each other.

That's great information.

I may be biased but i'd see it as 1 department that doesn't communicate very well with the other...

Being a student is not relevant for income tax.

Ya, a poster above mentioned that too and I knew I was wrong, hence that post you quoted.

I think that was they way I took it when I heard it first but it was obviously meant in a way that since I'm a full-time student not working during the academic year I'd have tax credits.

Thanks

Misleading thread title too, every time I see it I think it's a tax student, looking for a work placement...

Taxation forum isn't heavily trafficked, so this thread is constantly near the top of "My Threads" and "My Forums" for the last few days...
