Homes missing out on €880 tax refunds

Hard-pressed households are missing out on an average of €880 every year by failing to claim tax back.

According to www.Taxback.com, the average PAYE refund claim is €880, with the tax specialist saying that the effort required by the customer to get this is “minimal”.

The head of direct taxes with Taxback.com, Christine Keily, said all that is required from the individual is their PPS number, a few receipts, a signed application form or two, and the patience to wait just two to six weeks for their refund.
