What Can I Claim

PAYE, or “Pay As You Earn”, is a straightforward system employed by the Irish Government. It ensures that the appropriate amounts for income tax, USC, and PRSI are deducted from your wages based on your earnings. Essentially, before your paycheck reaches you, these deductions are made and directly remitted to the revenue, which then channels it to the Irish Government. This system aims to simplify tax payments for employees. However, it’s always wise to verify if the correct deductions are being made!

Anyone working in Ireland is typically subject to income tax through the PAYE system. While no one relishes parting with their hard-earned money for taxes, there are legal ways to ensure you’re not overpaying. Stay tuned for our top strategies to minimise your payments to Revenue and keep more of your earnings in your pocket!

Every PAYE employee in Ireland is entitled to tax credits. Depending on your circumstances, there are various reliefs you can claim.

Even if you’ve moved abroad or only worked for part of the year, if you’ve been employed in Ireland within the last four years, you can still claim your tax credits.
