Hi I am wondering has anyone else the same problem, I am in the PAYE system, and am an Employee.
I have some money earning interest, before the interest is relasesd, the bank deducts DIRT tax, is it 25% now.
After that I suppose you could say, my Tax liability has been met, is it necessary for me to do a Tax return on the basis of this Bank Interest.
I checked the Revenue site, they mention, investment income, share income, property income etc, but as the Bank is collecting Dirt on my behalf is Bank Interest treated differently.
I understand if I did have a Tax Return to file, I would need to fill in the interest as additional income, but do I only do this if filling out a return, or do I need to fill out a return , soley for Bank Interset, which has had Dirt applied to it already.
 
Although you have paid Dirt on the deposit interest, this income is also liable for PRSI and health levy.
 
I should have added the interest earned was about 900 euro
