tax back from work in '07

i worked some months late in 2007 on emergency tax and am owed tax back. i never received any cert from my past employee when i left nor at the end of year. i havent paid any taxes since. is there any cert i should get from my past employee before visiting revenue offices to apply for a refund or do revenue already have all the information they need? i heard the employee my be folding soon, so need to know if i should contact them before it does.

You should have received form p45 on leaving the employer. If you did not and assuming that you were properly registered with the employer and had supplied your PPS number then when the employer filed their end of year returns with Revenue for 2007 your details would be with Revenue already. You should contact your local Revenue office with your PPS number and they can guide you. There is a list of the local offices on the Revenue site under "Contact Locator"

You should have got a P45 if you left before end of 07. If you did not get a P45 please ring revenue quoting your pps number and employer number and name and you ask what was gross and tax deucted on the p35 returned which would have you p60/p45 info on it.

if you get the info- file a 2007 return and look for a balancing statement.
must include all income from 01/01/07 to 31/12/07.

thanks
