Unemployed - Past years tax?

Hi there – I thought it best to bring this to those more in the know then myself (as youv all being as helpful in the past)

My friend has being unemployed (due to an array of personal and medical reasons) since November 2007 (he was employed as a clerical officer with the HSE)


He can not locate any p45, p60 or any other documents due to having to relocate a few months ago -


Is there any faint possibility he could be entitled to a Tax Refund for his previous employment? And how would he get around to such a thing?


Much thanks guys, as it is genuinely appreciated!

All employment details for 2007 and 2008 would be on file with Revenue. If he files tax return showing taxable unemployment benefit and other relevant claims, meds, refuse etc. and states "do not have PAYE records, please check your files", Revenue will issue Balancing Statements for the years. If there is any refund then that will come out then on the statements. ( or if he as underpaid that will also come out )

Does he have to ring them up? Or go in person?

Thanks

You can do a lot of it on phone or on ROS/PAYE online. Simplest is ring the locall number on his last tax credit cert , or if not know that, go to www.revenue.ie, contact locator, put in PPS number and it tells you the district dealing with his affairs and their contact numbers.
