Clueless on TAX

Walker34

Hi,
I got a letter 2 weeks ago from the revenue with 4 tax return forms for 2006,2007,2008,2009,and I can barley read the dam things, never mind figure out what to put down. I am on LTD for the past 15 years with MS, and am technically still employed by my original employer, who sends me a payslip every 2 weeks. The letter stated I had been randomly selected for scrutiny by the revenue. I have not been doing tax returns for years, as this was handled by my employer. Is there any agency who could help me with this problem, or do I need to employ an accountant. How long to I have before they get nasty.?

Normally if your return is straight forward and you have no accounts to prepare a visit to your local revenue office may help. They will help you fill out the forms or at very least explain them to you.

I would suggest talking to an Accountant or Tax consultant to ensure everything is up to date and getting the forms filled in correctly. If there is an error the penalties are a lot less if you inform them rather than them finding it.

If you go to www.revenue.ie and in the bottom right hand corner of the home page is a contact locator. Input your PPS number in there and it will tell you your local office address.

Your local office (for Rathmines) is 85/93 Lower Mount Street, Dublin 2. This office is not open to the public.

There are 2 "Call - In" offices - Cathedral Street, Dublin 1, And another in the Square Shopping Centre in Tallaght, D24.

Hope this helps.:)
