Just wondering if anybody has any experience of this ... somebody I know was (legitimately!) claiming various SW payments while also receiving PAYE income over several years (OPFP, rent supplement, supplementary welfare allowance, creche subsidy (not ECCE) etc.). Most of the SW payments were assessable for tax. Revenue have specific amounts for such non PAYE income on the tax credit records for 2007-2011 but I suspect that some of these are wrong - e.g. they have an amount down for such income for 2011 and 2010 but no such SW "income" was received for these years. I assumed that SW would report assessable payments directly and accurately to Revenue but seemingly this can be a bit hit and miss. Curiously the figure in question has always been under the heading "DPS (or DSP?) Pension" on the statement of tax credits which makes little sense to me. What I really need to know for sure is a statement from SW of all SW payments for each specific tax year. A first request for this simply yielded a letter stating the total amount paid over the full period in question - straddling a number of tax years - and not a breakdown by tax year so that's not much use to me. Any idea if SW would, as a matter of course, supply a tax yearly breakdown? It's difficult to trace back through all of the payments and amounts via the (incomplete) SW "payslips" and current account statements available to me here.
Hope that makes sense - it's probably a bit more verbose than absolutely necessary but old habits die hard...
