That  means  that,  in  2022,  the  earliest  you  will  be  able  to  apply  for  a  refund  is  2018.<\/p>\n<p>If  you  would  like  to  apply  for  your  2018  tax  refund  you  may  need  your  2018  P60.  If  you  have  lost  your  P60  from  your  previous  employer,  the  Taxback  team  can  help  you  locate  it!  For  tax  years  after  2018,  you  will  not  need  to  request  a  P60  to  apply  for  your  refund.<\/p>\n<p><strong><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>The average Irish tax refund is \u20ac1,880<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\" class=\"orange-cta-btn\"><a style=\"padding: 15px; text-align: center; border-radius: 30px; font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; background-color: #e74632; color: #fff; margin: 25px 0px 25px 0px;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.taxback.com\/user\/#\/application\/ireland\/essentials\">GET YOURS NOW<\/a><\/p><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"i-see-tax-credit-on-my-p60-what-does-this-mean\">I  see  \u2018tax  credit\u2019  on  my  P60.

Below  we  have  therefore  marked  up  4  sample  P60s  highlighting  various  issues.<\/p>\n<p>First,  let\u2019s  take  a  look  at  some  common  terms  that  were  included  on  the  P60.\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"pps-number\">PPS  Number<\/h3>\n<p>\nThis  is  your  unique  identification  number  for  all  dealings  with  the  Public  Service  (i.e.  Revenue,  Department  of  social  protection,  health  and  education  services).\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"pay-as-you-earn-paye\">Pay  As  You  Earn  (PAYE)<\/h3>\n<p>\nEmployees  typically  pay  income  tax  through  the  PAYE  system.<\/p>\n<p>Each  time  you  are  paid,  your  employer  will  deduct  income  tax,  PRSI  and  USC  and  transfer  your  deductions  to  Revenue.\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"pay-related-social-insurance-prsi-class\">Pay  Related  Social  Insurance  (PRSI)  class<\/h3>\n<p>\nPRSI  is  the  main  source  of  funding  for  social  welfare  payments.  Each  time  you  are  paid,  both  you  and  your  employer  will  make  a  PRSI  contribution  to  Revenue.  The  value  of  this  payment  is  based  on  the  amount  of  your  pay.<\/p>\n<p>P60  documents  listed  each  employee\u2019s  PRSI  \u2018class\u2019.  Your  specific  PRSI  class  was  determined  by  factors  such  as  your  level  of  earnings,  whether  you  are  an  employee  or  self-employed  and  whether  you  are  a  private  or  public  sector  worker.<\/p>\n<p>Your  PRSI  class  will  determine  the  rate  at  which  you  pay  PRSI  and  the  amount  of  income  you  can  earn  without  incurring  the  charge.\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"universal-social-charge-usc\">Universal  Social  Charge  (USC)<\/h3>\n<p>\nIf  you  earn  more  than  \u20ac13,000  (gross)  per  year,  you  must  also  pay  USC.<\/p>\n<p>This  is  a  tax  paid  on  gross  income,  including  notional  pay  (such  as  benefit-in-kind),  after  any  relief  for  certain  capital  allowances.\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"local-property-tax-lpt\">Local  Property  Tax  (LPT)<\/h3>\n<p>\nThis  is  a  self-assessed  tax  charged  on  the  value  of  Irish  properties.  This  means  that  you  need  to  self-assess  the  value  of  your  property  each  year  and  pay  your  tax  to  Revenue.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"what-did-a-p60-document-look-like\">What  did  a  P60  document  look  like?<\/h3>\n<h4 id=\"p60s-were-divided-into-various-sections-such-as\">P60s  were  divided  into  various  sections  such  as:<\/h4>\n<p><strong>Top  portion<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This  part  of  the  P60  contained  your  personal  details  i.e.  your  name,  address,  PPS  number,  tax  credit  and  rate  band  information.

He  does  not  work  outside  the  home.  Jane  is  a  company  director  with  a  70%  shareholding  in  the  company.  Her  P60  may  look  something  like  the  below.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Name,  address  and  PPS  Number<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It  is  always  important  to  check  your  name  and  PPS  number  is  correct!  Jane  will  also  find  the  address  her  company  has  on  file.  If  Jane  is  not  happy  that  the  address  is  correct  she  should  tell  her  employer  to  update  their  records.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tax  Credit<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jane  has  been  allocated  a  tax  credit  of  \u20ac3,300.  She  is  entitled  to  the  married  person\u2019s  personal  tax  credit  but  not  the  PAYE  credit  as  she  is  a  proprietary  director.<\/p>\n<p>It  is  clear  from  her  P60  she  was  not  allocated  the  Home  Carer  Tax  Credit.  As  the  tax  year  is  now  over,  Jane  may  now  be  entitled  to  claim  this  credit  as  a  tax  refund.  The  Home  Carer  Tax  Credit  is  worth  \u20ac1,950  in  2025.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rate  Band<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Jane  has  been  allocated  the  tax  rate  band  appropriate  to  her  circumstances  i.e.  \u20ac53,000  (in  2025)  for  a  married  couple  with  one  income.  This  means  that  any  income  she  earns  up  to  \u20ac53,000  is  taxed  at  20%  and  any  income  over  that  amount  is  taxed  at  40%.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Total  pay<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u20ac60,000.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Employee\u2019s  PRSI<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As  Jane  is  a  company  director,  she  is  class  S1  (see  below).  This  means  that  she  pays  PRSI  on  her  entire  pay  at  a  rate  of  4%.<\/p>\n<p>As  you  will  see  from  the  other  examples,  this  is  different  to  the  method  of  calculation  of  PRSI  for  an  employee  whereby  they  are  entitled  to  a  PRSI  free  amount  each  month.  Jane\u2019s  PRSI  is,  therefore,  \u20ac60,000  X  4%  =  \u20ac2,400.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Total  Income  Tax<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This  is  the  total  tax  that  Jane  has  paid  during  the  year.

At Taxback, we\u2019re on a mission to help workers to better understand their financial entitlements so that they can avail of every tax benefit they\u2019re owed, no matter where they are in the world. With that in mind, we\u2019ve created this blog to empower our readers with the knowledge they need to better understand their tax obligations and maximize their refunds.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.taxback.com\/en\/","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/taxbackcom","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/taxback.com\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/taxback-com\/","https:\/\/x.com\/https:\/\/x.com\/Taxback?mx=2","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@taxback"],"url":"https:\/\/www.taxback.com\/blog\/author\/seo\/"}]}},"modified_by":"Rositsa Baneva","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.taxback.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11210","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.taxback.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.taxback.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.taxback.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/388"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.taxback.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11210"}],"version-history":[{"count":33,"href":"https:\/\/www.taxback.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11210\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14414,"href":"https:\/\/www.taxback.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11210\/revisions\/14414"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.taxback.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11242"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.taxback.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11210"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.taxback.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11210"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.taxback.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11210"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
