Hi. I paid tax back in 2005-06 on €4000 worth of social welfare payments. I think however that my accountant (who I hired then) made a mistake. I recently discovered that he recorded this as 'social welfare benefit' when filing my return. I also recetly discovered from the social welfare that I was in fact receiving 'Jobseekers allowance', which you can't get taxed on. Is it possible for me to get this tax back?
