Major warning for Irish workers as over 500k missing out on tax back worth HUNDREDS of euro

OVER 500k workers in Ireland are missing out on tax back worth hundreds of euro, the Revenue Commissioners has warned.

Around €389m in tax may have been overpaid in Ireland last year.

Refunds of over €400m have already been paid out during January, with the average refund issued at €900.

A public information campaign has been launched to raise awareness among PAYE taxpayers.

Tax credits and relief are available on a range of expenses including healthcare, renting, mortgage fee repayments and remote working costs.

Dan Oosthuizen from Revenue’s PAYE Services, said: “Our records indicate that a further €389 million may have been overpaid in 2024, and I therefore encourage all PAYE taxpayers to log on to Revenue’s myAccount service to finalise their tax position as soon as they can.

“Taxpayers are also reminded that they have four years to claim any additional refund they may be due.”

Taxpayers are urged to review and finalise their tax position for each of the years 2021, 2022 and 2023.

Mr Oosthuizen added: “If Revenue owes you money, you’ll get a refund into your bank account within days. If you owe Revenue money, we’ll work with you to find a suitable payment option.”

Revenue officials also found that 66,000 people underpaid tax in 2024.

Revenue’s National PAYE Manager, Aisling Ní Mhaoileoin, said: “The myAccount service is quick, easy and free to use and available all year round, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

“Additionally, we use all the information available to us to pre-populate returns.

“Therefore, for the vast majority of PAYE taxpayers, filing a return is a straightforward process they can complete themselves at a time that suits them.

“By filing an Income Tax Return, PAYE taxpayers can ensure that they are claiming all tax credits and reliefs they are entitled to, and receive any refund they are due.”

Detailed guidance, including step-by-step videos on how to submit a PAYE Income Tax Return and information on the wide range of tax credits and reliefs available, can be found on myAccount and PAYE campaign page, which is accessible at www.revenue.ie/paye. 

Revenue’s myAccount service can be accessed through the Revenue website, or a verified MyGovID account, and taxpayers are reminded that Revenue never issues communications by email or text message.

REVENUE - WHAT IS PAYE?

PAYE stands for ‘Pay As You Earn’. If you are an employee, you normally pay tax through PAYE.

Every time your salary is paid, your employer deducts Income TaxPay Related Social Insurance (PRSI) and Universal Social Charge (USC) and pays the amount deducted to Revenue. PAYE ensures that the yearly amounts you have to pay are collected evenly on each pay day over the course of the tax year.

PAYE is also used for people who receive an occupational pension from a previous employer.

You may be entitled to tax credits and to tax reliefs and exemptions to reduce the amount of tax you pay.

Iconic car gets ‘retro’ rebrand into TINY two-seat EV with top speed of just 28mph & can be driven in UK from aged 16

AN ICONIC car has undergone a “retro” rebrand turning it into a tiny two-seater EV which has a top speed of just 28mph.

Citroën’s brand new minimalist motor is based on its popular all-electric Ami quadricycle, first released in 2020.

The Type-Ami is the newest member of the French car giant’s family and is set to have its world debut this month at Retromobile 2025.

The Citroën Ami was first launched in 2020 and sold 43,000 units in its first two years.

With a top speed of just 28mph, the micro EV is perfect for city drivers and is just a mere 2.4m long, 1.4m wide, and 1.5m tall.

On a single charge the motor can stretch to 47 miles non-stop and is packaged as a cheap way to have “urban mobility for all”.

Best of all, it is legal to drive the Ami from the age of 16 in the UK on a moped licence – a whole year above the legal driving age of 17.

Its 5.5kWh battery pack pushes out just 8bhp and it takes a whopping 10 seconds to go from 0-28mph.

Now, the brand new Type-Ami will be produced by Caselani, a bodywork manufacturer based in Cremona, Italy, that has produced multiple conversion kits for Citroën over the years.

This has included work for the Citroën’s Berlino, Jumper, and SpaceTourer motors.

The tiny car has its main characteristics inspired by Citroëns of the past, including its large closed front grille that’s dominated by the carmaker’s logo.

Its frontage is also split into two broken segments, unlike the minimalist design seen on the regular Ami.

While it generally keeps most proportions the same as the Ami, the new version has its body crossed by small horizontal curves, giving a more classic finish.

Keeping with tradition, the wheel rims have a similar design that echoes to that of Citroëns of the past.

The various details and panels help to transform the French electric quadricycle into a modern classic, and they are compatible with both the current version and the pre-styled one.

Even with this, the weight of the vehicle is unchanged at just 471kg.

The motor has been designed by Caselani designer David Obendorfer in collaboration with Citroën Style Centre, headed by Pierre Leclercq.

It will be available in various colours and can be bought already installed for €13,900 (around £12,000).

If you already have an Ami at home and want to spruce it up with a new look, you can get the standalone kit for just €5,000 (£4,200).

Citroën’s Ami can come with a range of different trims, including a sportier trim for My Ami Pop that adds alloy wheel trims, a black strip under the windshield, front and rear bumper sections, a set of graphics for the doors and even a rear spoiler.

Scarlett Moffatt devastated as best friend dies of cancer – leaving behind baby son and wife

David’s Instagram account saw him document his chemotherapy journey while continuing his cancer treatment after sharing how his cancer had returned in November.

Revealing that David had died on her Instagram page today, Scarlett shared a selection of images of herself with her late friend and penned a moving caption.

Among the pictures of herself with David, the pair could be seen enjoying themselves at places such as Winter Wonderland and Disneyland.

Scarlett shot to fame after joining Gogglebox in 2014, with her friendship with David predating her fame.

My best friend Ivo. I’ve never felt grief before & I don’t know how to write this caption,” she emotionally began.

I will love you always & I will feel eternally grateful for the decades of friendship we had,” Scarlett went on.

“I will always cherish these last few weeks and remember how I got to hold your hand & tell you how much I love you and tell you what you meant to me – oh and our 2am texting club.

Every day you will be missed. You didn’t deserve any of this and I will forever hate cancer for what it’s done.

We will always be there for Charlotte & baby Archie. Love you to the stars and back.”

Back in November, David shared a post about his cancer battle.

DAVID’S CANCER BATTLE

Recalling his cancer battle from the beginning, David penned on November 26: “I found a lump in my leg one evening which was the size of a golf ball and then got onto the Dr’s to find out what it could be.

“Unfortunately nobody was sure what it could be until the Newcastle hospitals got wind of it and diagnosed me with having a peripheral nerve sheath tumour in the leg.”

He went on to reveal how the lump “quickly got larger over time and then I was due to have my operation”.

“The operation took 12 hours to remove and then I lost blood so needed blood transfusions as well,” he detailed, adding: “I then had to recover in hospital after coming round with a lovely plate of fish and chips to eat.

“To be fair, it wasn’t all bad whilst I was in there, but it didn’t start off on the best foot!!”

David explained how he had a skin flap to replace the skin that was lost where the tumour was, and a skin graft donor on the other leg.

“Now the operation was success,” he recalled, “the road to recovery started, physio and plenty of dressing changes, and trying to keep myself entertained all day in hospital began!

“I was in hopsital for around 3 weeks before I was allowed to finally go home.”

He then shared some sad news, concluding the post by writing: “Unfortunately the cancer has since returned as I found another lump, so now I am about to start chemotherapy – wish me luck!”

DAVID’S WIFE AND SON

David got engaged to Charlotte in December 2023, with him sharing a sweet selfie at the time.

In March 2024, the couple then announced they were expecting their first child.

Archie David Iveson, the couple’s son, was born in September, with David sharing a sweet snap of him carrying his son out of the hospital complete with a caption that read: “Let’s get you home.”
