You may be entitled to a refund of the Income Tax Levy
The Income Levy, which came into effect on 1 January 2009, is a levy payable on gross income, including notional pay, before any relief for capital allowances, losses, or pension contributions.
Employers deduct the Income Levy from all payments they make to their employees. In certain circumstances an employee may have overpaid Income Levy during the year and therefore may be due a refund. At the end of the year, employees can apply to Revenue for any refund due.
You are exempt from the Income Levy if you:
Hold a full medical card (A 'GP only' medical card is not a 'full' medical card)
Earn an annual income that does not exceed €15,028
Are 65 or over and your annual income does not exceed €20,000
Are a married couple, one or both of whom are aged 65 or over, with a combined annual income that does not exceed €40,000
When processing a tax claim, all we need from you are details of your employment history during the past 4 years, your P60 documents, your Income Levy Certificate for 2009 and your P45 if you have one. Don't worry if you don’t have these documents - you can still claim your tax back. Please contact us for further information.
