Do I get a refund of taxes if I leave Ireland during the year?

Many people who leave Ireland during a tax year are entitled to claim a refund of taxes on their tax return due to Split-Year Treatment. Click here to learn more.

How long does the process take?

We will review your position and submit your tax returns within 5 days of receiving your information.

How much does it cost?

Unlike other tax return service providers, we do not charge commission. We apply a flat fee of €49 for straightforward tax returns and €499 for complex tax returns. The 'No refund no fee' policy results in a much higher average fee due to the fact that a 'service fee' is being charged based on the refund amount. We believe that this commission based model should not be applied to tax return services.

What documents do I need?

Documents may be required depending on your specific situation. Select and purchase a plan here, and we will email a form to complete the tax information gathering process. We will reach out to you via email for any other documents that are required.

Can I claim tax relief on medical expenses?

Yes, you can claim tax relief on most medical expenses at the standard rate of 20%. This includes doctor visits, prescribed medicines, and certain dental treatments.

How far back can you claim for a tax refund?

Tax refunds are limited to the past four tax years; therefore, it's vital to submit your tax return as soon as possible.

Why have I been subject to emergency tax?

When starting a new job, your employer might initially lack the necessary information to apply your full tax credits, leading to temporary emergency tax deductions. Learn more about emergency tax here.

How will I get paid?

You will receive your refund directly to your bank account from Revenue.

How can I claim tax back for the past four years?

First select and pay for one of our four year plans here. You will then receive and email with a link to a form to complete an online application, which allows us to review your taxes. Next, we'll check your tax information on Revenue's online system and submit your tax return within 5 working days. Revenue will then issue your refund directly to your bank account once they have accepted our submission (usually within 2 weeks).

What can I claim tax back on?

This depends on your specific circumstances. We recommend that you authorize Irish Tax Hub to do a full review of your position by choosing one of our tax return plans so that we can determine your entitlement to any credits/reliefs. Some examples of expenditure which you can claim tax back on are;

  • Medical expenses
  • Non routine dental expenses
  • Rent paid
  • Tuition fees
  • Employer paid medical insurance
