Job Seekers Allowance meeting

Ally Dick

Hi. Sorry if this is complicated or in the wrong forum. I have a meeting about getting job seekers allowance next week. I am unemployed. My wife is self employed but earning very little (€14k gross before tax). Our accountant does our taxes for us through ROS and we just get the figure off him and pay it. I get a Self Assessment Tax form off the revenue that shows the income and tax on it and the settlement figure. This replaces the Notice Of Assessment which the revenue don't issue anymore since start of 2014.

On the list of things I am supposed to bring to the job seekers allowance meeting is details of profit and loss for my wife's self employment business. We don't have one.

Should I get the accountant to do one up, or will the figures on the Self Assessment Tax form suffice? The form is specifically called Self Assessment - Chapter 4 of Part41A TCA 1997 - Income Tax for the year ending 31/12/2014?

Bring the forms you have with you if the dept want anymore they will ask.

You will need profit and loss accounts for social welfare so you will have to get the accountant to do them up.
