    Got my Irish Rail refund credit note today (well HR did and will pass to Payroll)

    The annual ticket was 4960 and i hadnt travelled since March.

    Credit note is for 3472. This indicates a 7 month refund. Which makes sense as ive travelled 3 months and the annual includes 2 free months so 7 left in it.

    The refund i guess is a gross credit as it hadn't been taxed yet. So with that in mind as i'm on the higher rates, i'd get 48% of the amount which is 1666.56

    Any tax afficianados here to help confirm my calculations?

    Very frustrating situation.

    I have an annual ticket which I pay for over 12 months.

    I was unable to use it for 3 months. I have spoken to HR a number of times about getting a refund but they have said that no guidance has been issued yet (public sector employer). I should be due about €600 refund after the tax benefit.

    Also, this nonsense about losing two months refund on the annual ticket should not be right. From the taxsaver.ie website:

    "For commuters who are to continue employment with their current employer, under the NTA plan, the customer will be offered free travel for a number of months equivalent to the length of time they have been unable to use their ticket as a result of travel restrictions."

    The two months is if you cancel. The extension is if you don't cancel. They're two different matters.

    The NTA have announced that a six month extension is being applied to all annual TaxSaver cards.

    New Thread on this here as I can't merge due to a tech issue.
