Emergency tax

    I got emergency taxed on my last payslip for the job I'm in. Contacted revenue to give them the employer number, and they said that they'd send the tax credit cert to the employer and that they (employer) would be able to refund me on my next payslip. However my employer has told me that I will not be able to claim this back until the end of the year when I get my P60 and that revenue will refund me. I was under the impression that if it was in this tax year, the employer refunds the tax, but if I were to chase it up afterwards then I would have to go to revenue. Basically, should my employer be the one refunding me now, or are they within their rights to wait and give me my P60?

    No they should refund you in the next pay cycle once they have your details from Revenue

    Employer should refund. As long as you go onto cumulative basis, if you are to be on week 1 you won't get refund until you move onto cumulative or end of the year if staying on week 1.

    What do you mean by cumulative and week 1?

    Cumulative takes the year to date into account and will refund you if you have overpaid. Week 1 takes the current week only, do if you overpaid in previous weeks this wont be refunded until you go onto cumulative. If you stay on week 1 for the rest of the year, you then must do a P21 balancing statement at the end of year through ROS.

    You see the tax office will want you to either pay the correct amount of tax or more than the correct amount , so they will err on the side of caution and put you on a week1 basis.

    If they don't know or cannot figure out your personal circumstances for 2015 so far , they will not give you a cumulative tax credit cert .

    For instance , if you have been in another job , or drawing taxable benefits / or even both , you cannot receive a cumulative cert because this could cause you to under pay.

    If you can convince the tax office , that you were not drawing benefits , that you have no other job , and that you are simply moving from one job to another mid-year , then they may give you a cumulative tax credit cert.
