Migliora il tuo Inglese con YourEnglish.ie
Primo appuntamento con La serie “Migliora il tuo Inglese” in collaborazione con YourEnglish.ie Language School Dublino.
To be honest I am really impressed with the Irish Tax Office – or to be 100% correct: Revenue Commissioners as they are called officially. In many other European countries you would need a day off to visit the Tax Office and sort out your tax issues.
In Ireland most problems can be dealt with, and solved, over the phone. In the phone conversation below Francesca who has recently arrived in Dublin and is starting her first job, enquires about registering with the Tax Office.
Dialogo:
Revenue:Revenue, Marie speaking. How can I help you?
Francesca: I have just arrived in Ireland, and I am starting a new job next week. I would like to obtain some information on how to register with the tax office?
Revenue: Well, first of all you have to apply for PPS number in your local welfare office. To do so, you need your passport and a proof of address, for example an electricity or gas bill with your name on it. It takes up to 10 working days to get it, so the sooner you do it, the better.
Francesca: OK, and once I get it, what should I do?
Revenue: You should give your PPS number to your employer who will let your local tax office know that you have started work. In the meantime you should fill a form 12A which you can download from our website at www.revenue.ie
Francesca: Can I apply for any reliefs?
Revenue: There are a few extra tax credits for service charges, renting a room or a house. You can also claim your tax back for medical expenses and tuition fees if you are in full-time education. You will find more information regarding tax credits and reliefs on our website.
Francesca: Can I start work before I get my PPS number and register with the tax office.
Revenue: Yes, you can but you will be paying emergency tax at higher rate until you are registered and tax credits are allocated to you.
