They have taxed me at a PAYE rate of 92% and PRSI at 3%. I contacted my employer who told me that I've been placed on a "cumulative tax status", which makes no sense as I'm only 17 years old and paid adequate tax in every previous payslip. I just sent Revenue an enquiry through 'MyEnquiries' but after looking through their twitter the wait time on a reply doesn't look good. I'm dependent on this payslip, so I'd be very grateful for any advice/guidance whatsoever. Appreciate it.

Or is an absolute eejit with no clue how to run a business: at tis time of year, cumulative basis means you should have paix almost no tax. Look for another job immediately. But if you received 95% of what you earned (eg 285 out of 300), then that sounds about right.

That's a Revenue Payroll Notification that shows your tax credits and details of any previous earnings before you took up this job. Ask them again how they calculated your PAYE.

I claimed that tax back on my latest payslip, whilst paying all the adequate deductions. I'm unsure whether this is a screw up on my Employers behalf or Revenues behalf. My colleagues haven't had any issues so I'm veering towards screw up by Revenue but I really don't know.

howardmarks wrote: » Did you get a payslip? Is there a figure for cumulative earnings to date? Cumulative tax credits and standard rate cut off point to date? Is there an E or W1 or a N anywhere on it? As I said before even Emergency basis is not 92%. If there was a gap in employment since you last worked you would have accumulated credits and cut off points that would mean you pay little to no tax.

It’s currently asking me for my ‘Tax Registration Number’ but I haven’t a clue what that is. I attorney to send Revenue.ie an “enquiry” through their system but their turnaround is slow. Anyone know where I can find my Tax Registration Number? Thanks as always folks,
A Tax Registration Number (TRN) is issued by Revenue when you register for tax as a sole trader, trust, partnership or company. You must use your TRN when trading and filing your tax returns as a sole trader, trust, partnership or company.Note As a sole trader your TRN will be the same as your Personal Public Service Number (PPSN).Your PPSN does not become your TRN until you have been registered with Revenue as a sole trader.

Also in my dealings with revenue I have found them incompetent and unhelpful, if you are trying to recover back taxes, Irish tax rebates.com was helpful to me, but get the Tax Registration Number from your employer, because if you don't, this will drag on. The Irish tax rebates site does charge a fee, think it was about 100 out of 1600 for me, but they sent me a cheque within 6 weeks of contacting them.
