Perhaps someone who understands the tax system better than I do (returned emigrant) would advise.
I have a PPS Number from 4 years employment in Ireland in the late 1960's. The remainder of my working life was in UK. I returned to Ireland when I retired from the NHS in 2011, and live on my UK State Pension and an NHS pension.
I have been asked to provide a "Current Tax Clearance Certificate(s)" as I am applying for an afforestation licence under the Native Woodland Scheme which attracts a small annual grant. I do not farm the land, am not registered with GLAS for subsidies, am living in the farmhouse which I have renovated and on which I pay property tax to local council..........no other income, no other liability.
In my circumstances what do I need (and where to I apply!) for a "Current Tax Clearance Certificate"? Neighbours who are joining the Scheme simply applied to the local Revenue Office and were given a reference number but they are either farmers registered with GLAS or work full or part-time and pay tax on their income in Ireland. I have not had income from employment, or paid tax on it, since the late 1960's so there is nothing "current".
