My other half is a primary school teacher and mentioned to me that a few months ago she was advised by other school teachers in her school to fill out the online “Irish tax rebate” form. (She did). They had all apparently received rebates from revenue. However a percentage or fee had gone to this company.
My immediate thought when she told me about this recently was this was a scam. Over the years I have always made sure she has received all her credits including her teacher flat rate expense.
So I was surprised to see yesterday that she had received a cheque from Irish tax rebates for €106.74. There were no details on the letter about how this figure was calculated and how much they took for their fee.
There is a phone number on the letter so I was going to call to query this. Should I also contact revenue to find out if this company is genuine?
My concern is that my other half had nominated Irish tax rebates as her accountant and they have fudged the figures to allow for an artificial rebate in which they can claim a percentage. My other half would end up paying for this eventually.
However if they have genuinely found a rebate that I have missed then I believe they are entitled to a percentage of this rebate.
