Claiming tax and usc back after redundancy.

Hi all,

I was made redundant on the 11th of October.
Doing some research it seems like I can apply for tax and usc back if I haven’t received any taxable income, which I haven’t and don’t foresee for the rest of the year.


Is there anything I need to be aware of if I apply for this?
I will be entitled to job seekers benefit from mid next month, which I will be applying for. I have to wait for 9 weeks before applying.

Thanks.

Not that I can think of.

That will be based on your PRSI contribution record and any tax reclaim will have no bearing on it.

I'd also ignore the 9 week thing. Just apply and see what they say. I voluntarily quit my last job in 2021 and applied for JB immediately and got it.
