Taxback/Revenue Review: Who Qualifies and What You Get
If you have overpaid tax in the last four years, you may be entitled to a lump sum refund from the Revenue Commissioners.
This scheme allows individuals to claim back money if they have paid more tax than they were legally required to over the previous four years.
Who it's for
You may qualify if you have overpaid tax at any point within the last 4 years.
What you get
You can receive a lump sum refund representing the amount of tax you overpaid during that period.
What it costs you
To claim your money, you must submit a Form 12 or use the official online portal to file your request.
The catch to know
If you hire a private firm to find and claim your refund for you, they will take a percentage of your money as a fee. You can avoid this cost by doing the process yourself through the official government website for free.
How to apply
- Determine if you have overpaid tax in the last 4 years.
- Log in to the official online portal or prepare a Form 12.
- Submit your claim to the Revenue Commissioners.
