Emergency Tax Refund in Ireland

Many employees in Ireland experience emergency tax when starting a new job or changing employers. Emergency tax happens when your employer does not yet have your correct tax details from the **Revenue Commissioners.

When this occurs, a large portion of your salary may be taxed at a higher rate until your tax information is updated.

When Does Emergency Tax Happen?

You may be placed on emergency tax if:

• You start a new job and your employer does not receive your tax credits

• Your PPS number is not registered with the employer

• You return to work after a period of unemployment

• Revenue has not issued your tax certificate

Can You Get the Money Back?

Yes. Once your tax details are corrected, Revenue will review your tax record and any overpaid tax may be refunded.

At KCL Tax Rebates, we help PAYE workers check their tax records and claim any emergency tax refund they may be owed.
