Millions of euro left unclaimed in tax reliefs

Millions of euro are going unclaimed by taxpayers for reliefs they failed to claim through neglect, apathy or ignorance.

However, substantial refunds of overpayments made in the past four years can still be claimed, according to www.taxback.com.

While tax breaks in 2013 are not as generous as in previous years, you can reclaim tax as far back as 2009, said the company which last year oversaw an average payout of €840 for clients.
