Personal Revenue

Hi,

The personal revenue is something mandatory to do every year for all residents in Ireland?

Thanks

Do you mean a form 12, they say that's a lucky dip, I've been lucky the last 6 years getting it.

If you are a regular paye employee, all of your tax stuff should be taken care of by your local tax office and employer.

It is handy to register on the revenue.ie website as it displays clearly what tax credits you can claim for.

If you've gotten a form the last 6 years, there's a specific reason why.

There are a certain percentage of the population selected at random each year, who have to complete the Form, a bit like jury duty.

But then there are those claiming certain allowances, or are in receipt of certain income, who it is mandatory for them to complete a Form.

That makes sense, my tax credits would be higher than most along with my wife getting carers allowance

Just an example but 50% of teachers get a form 12 most years.

So if I have dentist expenses to claim back how is the employer going to take care of everything?

Thanks

Your local tax office will have the relevant forms

Or

You can register for paye online and it can all be done there, I find online a lot easier.

You cannot claim tax relief on routine dental work (defined as "extraction, scaling and filling").

If you have non-routine work done which qualifies, your dentist will give you a form "MED2" confirming the work done and amounts paid.

The employer looks after CURRENT YEAR tax credits.

Dentist expenses only dealt with on a back year, review only, basis, so it's Revenue you apply to for the relief

I think you probably mean that the employer can only deal with current tax year credits as determined by Revenue.

The only people responsible for dealing with/amending tax credits are Revenue. They will amend tax credits and bands as required but the employer can only operate on the basis of a current tax credit certificate (or P2C) a P45 from the previous employer, or in the absence of those, to tax the employee on an emergency basis.

Yes, that's what I meant.

Health Expenses can be given by way of tax credits in the current year, but only where hardship is pleaded, and in writing
