tax back on maternity pay?

AANDE

Hi

Just wondering does anyone know how I can claim back the tax I paid on my maternity pay, I just got paid as normal from my employer! Also can I claim back any PRSI?

Thanks so much

All revenue require to return your money is:

1: Pay and Tax details for year(s) in question... i.e. P60/45's. (They might have this already on record from P35's submitted by your company so best to give a quick ring to 1890 33 34 25)

2: Statement from your employer confirming amount of maternity benefit taxed through your wages. (for individual years if it overlaps from one year to next)

3. A Bank account or forwarding address to issue/post your refund if there is one.

Thats it, simples.

If it was for this year (2009) you're best off waiting on your P60 for 2009 as revenue will not have Pay and Tax on record for the current year.

PRSI... you should contact you're local welfare office for more info as i'm unsure about refunds in that area. Phone book or welfare.ie will give you this info.
