Ok great thank you. So shluld i contact revenue directly to sort that? Also is it better to hold off completing tax returns for 2023 til i get it sorted?Best option is to see if you get it discharged via adjustment of credits; the max they'll do is 4 years & you'll need to make a good case to be considered for that.
Good case might include say medical needs / disability / family etc
Its worth a shot in any event.
It's highly unlikely that your employer's payroll department are to blame for this, unless they were literally overriding Revenue data and fiddling the figures.Its closer to 1500 euro actually thats underpaid so even with tax refund i will most likely owe something. Cant believe that payroll were able to mess this up so much. Looks like they took approx 2% each month for most of the year..
You should ask to repay this over as long a period that they can offer.
Oh yes. I missed that in the original post.They'll offset the refund due though, no?
A very common misconception, Payroll use what ever “live data” is provided to them by Revenue, while unfortunate, it is ultimately the employees responsibility, not the employer, to check the data being used is correct, and in any event, any correction, can only be done by the employee, due to GDPR etc, and it is not the Employers place, to highlight a tax issue, as they are legally obliged to use what Revenue provides to them, not to do so, is illegal.Its closer to 1500 euro actually thats underpaid so even with tax refund i will most likely owe something.

But the thing is that it looks like the detail revenue provided is correct and for USC its based on gross salary so tax credits dont appear to have any impact.A very common misconception, Payroll use what ever “live data” is provided to them by Revenue, while unfortunate, it is ultimately the employees responsibility, not the employer, to check the data being used is correct, and in any event, any correction, can only be done by the employee, due to GDPR etc, and it is not the Employers place, to highlight a tax issue, as they are legally obliged to use what Revenue provides to them, not to do so, is illegal.
Employers have no access to change an Employees tax credits, standard rate bands, or USC bands. best practice, is to double check your revenue details, when they are issued around December each year, in advance of the incoming new tax year.
What has GDPR got to do with any of this?due to GDPR etc,
How would they be in a position to form such an opinion?If an employer believes the tax credits on the Revenue system are incorrect they are completely permitted to advise the employee.
I have no idea.How would they be in a position to form such an opinion?
Your employer is legally required to use your latest RPN (Tax Certificate), these should be automatically downloaded from ROS each time they run the payroll. At the end of the day it is always the employee's responsibility to ensure the correct tax is paid. The values used are required to be printed on your payslip.
As others have said 2% is the reduced rate, which can be paid for various reasons.
Thanks for conceding your point makes no sense.I have no idea.
Either way GDPR wouldn’t stop them telling an employee.
I moved to this employer in 2022, so that could explain the first tax cert.
However the amended tax cert should have been picked up by employer right?
Even if they didnt have enough time to process for Nov payroll , should it have been used for Dec? Like they increased from 2% but still did not take nearly enough USC.
Was the onus on the employer to use this?
I think that
Ok thank you. Ive just checked tax certs and the following taxcerts issued

To note i did owe revenue taxes for 2020 due to covid and receipt of TWSS with previous employer and they took that out if a tax refund i had for that year when i did my taxes.
