I understand that JSB is classed as taxable income however according the Revenue leaflet IT24 when on a 3 day week and receiving JSB for the other 2 days this is not taxable.
We received a P21 this morning stating we owed over €500 in tax! I rang the Revenue to query this and there were a couple of mistakes - one being the income I earned and relevent tax paid for 2 weeks I worked in a supermarket before christmas was not on the form despite me sending in details and them being scanned on the system, this has been sorted over the phone.
However for most of last year I was working short time ( February til November) and receiving the JSB top up. I was made redundant on 25 November and went onto full JSB ( this was suspended for the 2 weeks I worked in a supermarket) and only received full JSB rate of €204 for at the most 3 weeks. However on the P21 the full amount I received in JSB has been included as taxable income.
Am I missing something here? My understanding is that only the 3 weeks I received full JSB should be classed as taxable. The woman at the Revenue says they can only go off what the SW tell them and I now have to get a letter off SW confirming the amount which was taxable, that is going to be difficult given the work to rule in place at the minute. ( She also didn't know where I got this information about JSB not being taxable in some circumstances until I told her it was in a Revenue leaflet)
Maybe I am mis-reading something here but when I work it out based on not paying tax on most of the JSB I should be getting a few hundred euro of a refund as my tax paid is below my tax credit.
Can anyone clarify?
