PAYE Refund? - Only working 5 months in Ireland this year

I'll be leaving my current job at the end of May as I will be moving abroad for some time.

I will almost definitely work again within the EU (France, Luxembourg, Belgium...) before the end of the calendar year.

My question is am I entitled to claim a PAYE refund? I.e. to have my income for the year reassessed based on the 5months income put against the annual figures for tax credit/cut off points?

I did this a number of years ago while in college when I was not going to work from approx October to December - but that was not working at all, not just not in this country - does that make a difference?

And secondly, will I have to wait until the end of the year to receive the refund? I have a vague memory that I did not have to the last time and that I just had to sign a declaration that I would not be working again in that tax year, & that if I did, well, it would be reclaimed(& I'd probably get done for attempted fraud or something....)

Finally, apologies if this has been covered, the search function is failing and just giving me blank page when I hit search.

Form P50 - First Claim for Repayment During Unemployment is what you want. Return one when you stop working here. You should get any refund due after filing this and not at the year end. Try Google to search AAM instead of the built-in search which doesn't always work as expected...

Thankyou. Thats great news - P50 rings a bell now actually.

And thanks for the search advice.
