Hi guys

Long story short

Partner started claiming Jobseekers Benefit at start of June (they would not give her Jobseekers Allowance as I earn too much).

She's now found a full time job and called the Tax Office to submit her employee number - when she called they said that her Jobseekers Allowance was taxable income and now she has a job they would look for the tax on it back and she'd pay it back in small amounts.

Is this true and how much will she pay back?

Thanks :-)

Jobseekers benefit it taxable. Jobseekers allowance isnt taxable. See here http://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/social_welfare/irish_social_welfare_system/claiming_a_social_welfare_payment/taxation_of_social_welfare_payments.html

So if she's been on Benefit for 7 weeks @ 121 euro a week, how much will she owe?
