I commenced employment with a new organisation in 2020 so I am wondering am I right in thinking that I underpaid revenue by €150 in 2019, that the €150 underpayment in 2020 was paid off through increase in USC for example and now only 1 cent underpayment on system? Thanks for anyone who can help out, I am woeful when it comes to this.

At no point last year was she advised of a salary cut etc. It was mentioned she was on the TWSS without any particular detail. The only advice offered was that their may be an overpayment or underpayment and to be aware of this. She kept tabs on this, and worked out that she underpaid tax of approx. 400 euro in the period. She was on the TWSS for 5 months. Would the above a common theme with other people on the TWSS? Her employer wasn't sending out pay slips during this period and up until December and only sent them on this week on request( old school payroll operation.. don't ask). Reviewing them this morning, it looks like she was getting a gross top up payment 73% lower than her average monthly salary prior to Covid. Minimal tax deductions have been made on these monthly payslips. The TWSS subsidy basically doubled this reduced amount. (approx. 1500 + 1500) To me, it seems like the employer has miscalculated the top up payment to her for this period. Her take home pay was more or less the same and so no alarm bells were ringing at the time. Would anyone agree or are we missing something here?

NaiveMelodies wrote: » I have, should we include the TWSS income figure when doing this computation? It's an underpayment with the TWSS and balances without. Main issue is that she was getting close to the correct amount(based on her salary) in hand for this period. With this tax underpayment, she was not and ultimately it equates to a pay cut after the fact. Is the employer possibly at fault?

NaiveMelodies wrote: » The tax deductions that were made on her gross income(the top up portion) on payslips were close to zero, yes. Had deductions been made, it would been evident in her monthly take home pay at the time as she would have been receiving less than her salary, despite not being notified of a pay cut.
LawBoy2018 wrote: » She received the same salary, but was unaware that she wasn't paying any tax on the top up portion. This should definitely have been flagged by her employer because in effect, her salary was cut, unbeknown to her. (the difference between her normal salary and what she would normally pay in tax)
NaiveMelodies wrote: » I think that's it. Thanks for that. She has had a look at her emails, pay slips were requested in October and a few excuses were made (i.e. next week etc..). A colleague had the same request knocked down the road in November. I'd hate to cry foul or accuse anyone of doing something like this deliberately, but I can't help but feel someone has fcuked up here.

It would be best to play innocent and put the onus on them to explain what happened. It wouldn't be any harm to add said email to the chain where she asked for her payslips back in October/November. *This is my last response to your query as it's slightly off-topic, best of luck!*

The problem with TWSS is that it was liable it for tax but wasnt taxed ie a payment of €350 was just that - you got the whole €350 and probably owed tax on it.

Is a way I can download this ‘claim’ to revenue (I have a few more smaller ones eg physio, doctor, etc. should these be download at the same time ? The substantial one entails a refund of €500 alone.
