Below text says that the contract must be signed between 23 July, 2020 and 31 Dec, 2020 to avail 30k relief. Will it be an issue that I am including 2020 tax year too and my contract was signed in Nov, 2020.
Note - the amount of the final refund will be subject to 5% of the purchase price or approved valuation of the property or 10% if you sign contracts or draw down the first tranche of a qualifying loan in respect of a self-build, between 23/07/2020 and 31/12/2020), so it may differ from the maximum relief summary you received at application stage. Important note: On the 23/07/2020, the government increased the maximum limit of Help to Buy relief to €30,000 subject to certain conditions being satisfied. In order to avail of these increased limits applicants must have signed a contract for the purchase of a new house or made the first draw down of the mortgage in the case of a self-build during the period 23 July 2020 to 31 December 2020. This will be confirmed at Claim stage. If the enhanced measures does not apply the maximum relief available is €20,000
Enhanced HTB scheme – where applicants enter into a contract for the purchase of a new house or apartment, or make the first draw down of the mortgage in the case of a self-build property, during the period from 23 July 2020 to 31 December 2020, they will be eligible for increased relief under the HTB scheme. The maximum HTB relief you are entitled to will be based on the lesser of: • €30,000 (increased from €20,000), • 10 per cent (increased from 5 per cent) of purchase price/value of your property, or, • the amount of Income Tax and DIRT paid for the four years prior to making the application

Thats standard, you need to reapply once you hear back for 2017 and 2018, usually doesnt take more than 2, 3 days unless you had some high claims because then the person actually reviews it and they might ask you for proofs etc. Ie if you are claiming a huge amount in medical expenses and its not really visible it went out of your account etc.
