They do interviews on all of the mainstream news stations and they fully explain all of the procedures. Follow on from that you have Charlie Weston, Sinead Ryan and Conor Pope doing the exact same in all of the newspapers. If people can't be arsed to fill out a few online forms, and in fairness, it couldn't be easier now, they've no one to blame but themselves.

Its well known that out of the million tax payers , only about 10% submit a claim for balancing statement . This suits the Government and they get to keep the amounts not claimed after 4 years . It should have been left alone and remain as a P21 .

As another poster said they are on ALL media channels, all newspapers, doing interviews and articles telling people to claim what is due to them . They have made it incredibly easy ! In a few clicks of a button it’s done, you don’t even have to scan in your invoices or expenses (you just hold on to them yourself). 5 days after I submitted my SOL I had over €800 back. A 10 year old could do it . Honestly do not try and day this is the government trying to hold on to your money :rolleyes::rolleyes: !!! (Yes there seems to be a delay in the early January applications but you WILL get your money if it’s due, just the same way as you get emergency tax back, people need to stop venting and have patience for a few weeks, it they have already spent the money up front more fool them! )

Revenue were supposed to prevent people carrying out submissions before the 15th, they didn't even say anywhere that you weren't allowed to submit... and yes people probably did spend it before they got it... because as with previous years it was easier and the refund came a few days not 1 month later. I think the Fools here is Revenue not the people waiting for a few pound to pay a bill

[Deleted User] wrote: » The above may be the case but for posters to claim the term “Statement of Liability” is a scare tactic to scare people from claiming is simply ludicrous! To also say this is done so the Government can hold on to unclaimed monies laughable. People have 4 years to claim a refund. If people are waiting on a tax refund to pay bills they’re not very good at budgeting . A tax refund is not income, its not part of a budget, more like a bonus. I work in an extremely busy area of the Civil Service (not Revenue and not public facing )and staff where I work are pushed to their pin of their collars to meet deadlines . There is often not enough time to update websites and answer calls as customer requests are being processed non stop and that’s the priority. Revenue are one of the most approachable and helpful government departments of all. It’s full of hard working staff, most of whom are not on huge salaries, certainly not Fools. This is just an incredibly busy time and obviously there has been a glitch in the early January claims being processed, but they are 100% aware of this and people will get their money. Maybe people should submit later in January next year and avoid the madness.
