    My parents just got a medical card in the post this morning.
    My Dad was paying the income levy all year.
    He is now exempt from paying this levy.

    My query is, can he claim back the money he paid this year already ?

    [FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]The below is a direct quote from " Income Levy - FAQ" which I have attached and is also available on http://www.revenue.ie

    "Full medical card holders
    [FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]
    Where an employee holds a full medical card at any time during the year they are exempt from paying the income levy. The employee should supply sufficient evidence to their employer/pension provider that they hold a full medical card. The employer/pension provider should then stop deducting the income levy. Where the income levy has been applied for particular pay period(s) throughout the year but the individual holds a full medical card then they are due a refund of any income levy they have already paid in the year. The employer/pension provider can refund immediately any amount of income levy already deducted from the previous 1 January. It is not necessary for the employer/pension provider to wait until the end of year to make any refund due in medical card cases."

    Just inform the employer and they can issue a refund immediately.
    Hope this helps
