    Hi all I just started working and I am getting taxed half of my wages, which I understand to be emergency tax. I am just wondering how do i get it back in 'laymans' terms. I read the thing on revenue.ie and it didnt help im still confused so if any one can simplfy it into to steps like: fill out form xxx, send it to xxx. That would be great!

    Thanks in advance.

    If it's your first job ever, complete a form 12a and submit to Revenue to register the employment. That will allow your employer to tax you correctly and refund any overpayment of tax in your wages.
    If it's not your first employment then contact Revenue with your employers details to register the employment.

    If it is your very first job, the Form 12A is no longer applicable. You have to register for My Account and enter the details under 'Jobs and Pensions'. You need the employers PAYE registration number, the date you started and your pay frequency. A tax credit certificate will then be issued to both yourself and your employer. You can no longer get a Form 12A in a public office so it will be quicker and easier to go online from the offset. If you're in any doubt call the PAYE helpline and they will advise you.
