Claim Irish tax back for previous tax year

Hello there
I have looked up previous posts and have seen that there are few queries around claiming tax back when moving abroad but did find anyone in a situation similar to mine. So here we go

I worked in Ireland for over 5 years until May 2007 and then moved to the UK more or less permanently. I did not however claim for tax back during 2007 and realised only recently that I could get all or most of my taxes that I paid in Ireland during 2007. I was going to fill the form P50 for this and then called the PAYE helpline just to be sure. I have been advised that I cannot use the P50 because we are in a different tax year now and that I need to send an email to Revenue to have my tax thingy reviewed.

So I have a couple of questions around this:
1. Is there someone in this forum that has been in a similar situation and have been able to claim tax back?
2. What is the critieria for the tax refund or in simple terms how much will I get back?

Please advise

Thanks
Nirmal

You should send an email requesting a P21 for 2007. Ther Revenue may do this, or they may ask you to fill in a tax form for the year.

However, you will be entitled to your full year's tax credits and rate bands as this is a "split year", so therefore your tax refund should be equal to your unused tax credits and portion of lower rate band.

If you use Revenue Online Service (www.ros.ie) you can request the P21 Balancing Statement directly through the site.

If not, an e-mail or a call to the tax office should get you sorted out.

Were you working in UK in 2007
