Hi all

I was wondering if you could help me with a question, sorry if this has been asked before.

I was employed from Sept - Dec of 2008, but was down as self-assessment for the year. (although I had no other job from Jan - Aug) I was paying emergency tax for this time, and the tax-office could only change this for Jan 2009 on, so I haven't been refunded the extra tax I would have paid in 2008.

For the years 2005 - 2007 I had an accountant do my taxes, do I have to do this again for the 4 months of 2008 to claim it back? Can I do it myself, what's the best way of going about it?

Thanks for any help
 
Hi

Sorry i am not clear on what you are saying. Were you in PAYE employment Jan-Aug and then self employed Sep-Dec of 2008.

You do not need an accountant to do this if you know how to fill in a Form11 with your P60 details and your self employed income. This form is then submitted to revenue and they will refund any overpayment of tax in the year
 
Thanks for the response... to clarify, I was self employed 2005-mid-2007 then unemployed from Jan-Aug of 2008, then for Sept - Dec 2008, had a PAYE job, but didn't realise I had to tell the revenue I was no longer self-employed (or doing self-assessment), until I rang them and they said they could only put me back on normal PAYE from 2009 on.

But I think you've answered my question, so thanks... I have to be honest though, I don't remember receiving a P60 for 2008, I'll have to go back over my files...
 
A quick call to the revenue, or your payrol dept in your job will let them give you your P60 figures. Then de-reg for Incoem Tax with form TRCN1 www.[B]revenue.ie[/B]/en/tax/it/forms/trcn1.pdf and going forward from 2009 no form 11 return needs to be made to revenue.
