Good to see someone still speaking Irish
Has your friend been in employment in Ireland since the start of the tax year 1 January and paid income tax on his/her salary?.....As your credits are for the year and only available on a month by month basis he/she will have unused credits from the date of leaving Ireland to the end of the tax year thereby there may be an overpayment of income tax
normally revenue dont accept a tax return, looking for a refund of overpaid paye, until after the end of the tax year. However you may be able to write a letter to the inspector of taxes in the relevant tax district staying your claim and the basis for it
Lastly it may be worth noting that your friend maybe be considered Irish tax resident and ordinarily resident for the tax year 2006 and therefore liable to Irish income tax on worlwide earnings including canadian wages however a relief is available called split year residence relief which provides that only Irish employment income earned up to date of departure will be subject to Irish tax that is provided that the individual is not resident for the next tax year 2007, will your friend be resident for 2007 - revenue have confirmed that a short holiday will not affect the relief
Thanks for reply, she has worked solidly for the last three years, and will not be coming back to Ireland for at least two years , involved in a sports scholarship.
If she's been renting don't forget to claim tax back on that and she may be entitled to some tax back on medical expenses. Usually claim at the end of the tax year but if she hasn't claimed for other years can do so now.
Will get onto it .... , Thrifty, on the issue of Medical / rent , can she only clam back for this year, or can she claim back for previous years as well......
You can e-mail your local paye/tax office and ask them to check your taxes back as far as 2002(P21 balancing statement) then they will send you out a balancing statement and if they owe you money a check will come before the statement.

And e-mail them giving your pps number saying you want your taxes checked from 2002 till the present day, they will not go past 2002 as they are "statue barred"
