I just got a letter from my employer saying i received 300 odd euro in illness benefit in 2007 and that I may require the letter to claim tax relief. What/how do I claim?
Request a P21 balancing statement from Revenue having ensured that they are aware of all of your earnings for 2007 (e.g. salary income on P60 and illness benefit etc.).
Is this Illness Benefit from your employer ie. above and beyond the SW Illness Benefit in which case both are taxable. First 6 weeks of Sw Illness Ben in any one year is exempt. Anything above that is taxable.
