Employer deducted too much PAYE for 2004

[martigar]

Hi

My employer made a mistake and calculated my tax in Dec last on the Jan 05 TFA. As I was only working half time during 2004 it meant for my December salary I was deducted approx €700 too much. My employer returned the money to me as it was Christmas from another source in the company and I had to sign to pay it back when it was retured from Revenue.

My understanding that as it was the end of year return I now have to claim this myself directly from reveue. Can you advise how I do this will it necessarily involve a balancing statement or simply sending in my P60?

I am also concerned about the lapse in time and need to proceed with this asap in order to pay back to employer.

Thanks
Mar

Just write to Revenue (the tax office specified on your statement of tax credits) explaining your understanding of the situation and including a copy of your 2004 P60 and they should be able to review your file and issue a refund if you have overpaid on tax. If you also overpaid PRSI then you may need to claim this back separately.
