Emergency tax? Confused :-(

    Hi all,

    Hope someone can shed some light on this, so confused by it all. I left my previous job on April 5th.
    Started new job April 7th. Didn't receive p45 from previous employer until the end of April so for 4 weeks I was emergency taxed. I get paid €421.00 weekly after tax now and I came out with €358.00 for those 4 weeks.
    I contacted HR and payroll and they said once they receive my p45 I have to wait 10 days and then it will be refunded. Then heard nothing and called revenue. They said everything looks to be balanced. I had 'emergency tax' on the bottom of my payslip for 4 weeks. I then contacted HR again and they said it is revenue's responsibility to refund any balance. I'm so confused, being thrown back and forth with this. I should be due a refund shouldn't i??

    It's not Revenue's responsibility - it's the employers. If you have contacted Revenue, they will have sent the relevant info down to the employer, that enables them take you off emergency tax, and also refund you anything you have overpaid. HR are talking shyte there now i'm afraid.

    You need to check your tax credit cert and ensure its on a cumulative basis.

    When your employer receives your tax details on a cumulative basis they can refund the tax. If Revenue sent it out on a Week One basis they can't.

    It's up to Revenue to send it out. It's up to your company to apply what they instruct. If the Revenue don't send out the correct details it's up to you to instruct them to correct it.
