Emergency Tax Refund: Who Qualifies and What You Get
If you have been placed on emergency tax, you may be entitled to a refund of the extra tax you have overpaid.
This scheme allows you to claim back money if you have been paying too much tax because you were placed on emergency tax.
Who it's for
This is for employees who have been put on emergency tax. This usually happens if you do not have a Personal Public Service Number (PPSN) on file or if your tax credits have not been applied correctly to your pay.
What you get
You can receive a refund of the tax you have overpaid under the emergency tax system.
What it costs you
There is no monetary cost to apply. To get your refund, you will need to submit a Form 12 or use the official online portal to provide your details.
The catch to know
Even after you provide your official employment documents, such as a P45 or P60, it can take a few weeks for the request to be processed.
How to apply
- Gather your employment documents, such as your P45 or P60.
- Complete a Form 12 or log in to the online portal.
- Submit your information to the Revenue Commissioners.
