    Yes all I’m seeing is “submitted” on the my documents page.

    Quick one on the statement of liability - the declaration “tick” box can’t be ticked but my 2019 form is still showing as being submitted. Anyone else have this issue?

    If you have already submitted it and you're pressing the 'View' button, then at the top of the page it says '(Read only - Submitted : <date>'). So it's read only.

    I'm also waiting for 2019 to be completed - doing the HTB in Jan is a real pain.

    I got my P21 today and now my application on HTB is under review. Does anyone know how long this takes? We have already paid the 5k booking deposit and now have 14 days to sign contracts!

    Think mine took 3 days to go from under review to approved. This was back in April so I'd imagine it might take a bit longer this month due to people waiting to include 2019 tax year

    Anyone else hear that FG are proposing to increase HTB to 10% with cap of €30000 if elected?

    Im currently in the middle/towards the end of a house purchase. Are we just out of luck now if they do increase it as proposed?

    Did you get notified by email when you got your P21?

    Fine Fail look like they'll be bringing in the ssia's again for first time buyers once elected. I wouldnt hold my breath waiting for it though as they could introduce it at any stage over the course of the government term.

    Ours was also cancelled this morning. We received our P21 this morning. I think it was cancelled as my partner owed 200 in tax. He paid it and we have reapplied now and it just says its being reviewed. Hopefully it doesn't get cancelled again. The girl on the phone was no help after being left on hold for 10 minutes.

    Just off the phone with them too. Said to wait another 1-2 weeks they have a huge backlog of tax submissions for 2019 to process and once I receive my P21 can proceed with the HTB application again.

    Was approved for HTB and it expired on December 31st. Re applied early this month to include 2019 income. It’s been stuck on p21 not requested and also says other member has not accepted membership even though they have.

    Good to see people are getting p21s slowly though

    There was a batch of 50,000 this morning and another 50,000 tomorrow to be released apparently it's being staggered. So fingers crossed for tomorrow. If not they said it might be next week.

    We had a HTB application open while we waited for our P21 to come back, now we have them it's showing as under approval and waiting for each member to join although we both tried to join.

    Should we wait a few days for it to get started or call them to cancel and try again? Just want to get the ball rolling, we have our approval from the bank and put €5,000 on the house. Just waiting for the contract to come through and the HTB.

    I am in the exact same situation bar having a house agreement. Most here are saying it took 24 hours. Im just past that point. Hopefully done on Monday.

    I read somewhere that the pending message for members to join the group will go once all members have completed all of the steps.

    Crafty lee thanks for that - me and my partner were wondering why that message came up. Delighted to hear the wait time isn’t long as I’m waiting on HTB before we sign more contracts!

    Mine has been like that for a few days now. Said one member was waiting to join but kept getting error messages. We cancelled application but can’t can’t even restart it as error messages from start. Better stay put

    Is the amount received all of your PAYE paid after tax credits in the last 4 years or is it a certain percentage of it?

    I'm getting figures from the taxes deducted in the PAYE section on the P21 and mine is near the 5% max, it just seems a bit high for something that actually benefits us...
