I recently stopped having my bins collected by a private operator.I have started going to my local dump which costs me €13 per car load of refuse.
Is there any tax refund on these charges?

Independent contractors for domestic refuse collection or disposal.

Well technically I am paying an independent contractor for waste disposal not collection?
 
I certainly think you should try. if you don't have receipts you can claim up to €40 (€200 per year) taxback per year on bin bags and i think dump charges. I don't see why they wouldn't accommodate you. I think Revenue have simplified it so you can actually claim this tax back by text. Check their site
 
Yes , you can claim back a tax credit of 39 euro . However its important that you have tax paid in and dont owe any money to revenue . Dont need receipts they will automatically give you this credit. However if you have receipts for say 500 euro , send them in and claim full amount and you may get lucky , the tax office will consider your claim for full amount.
 
is the 39Eur just a nominal amount or is there some reasoning behind this?

Each visit to the dump charges 13Eur and i have only recently started doing this so I only have 26Eur in receipts at the moment.Should i just wait until the end of the year get all my reciepts and send them in then?
