Received a written reply today, postmarked Waterford, to my request for a review of the weekly rate.
The outcome of the review is I will remain on the lower rate.
It explicitly states "under PUP rating rules, self-employed incomes can only be examined in respect of the 2018 year and the income figures used by the Department for PUP (and all other schemes) is always the figure after capital allowances and deductible business expenses".
There is no return address on the letter and it's signed the "PUP Rerate Team".
There is also no invitation to submit 2019 tax return details.
Has anyone had a similar letter or have they been invited to submit 2019 details?
