...recently however i have started to pay emergency tax on my nixer job. How can i reclaim this, and stop paying anymore...
...You should fill in form 12a and send it to tax office immediately . - tell them that you want a tax credit certificate with zero tax credits and zero standard rate cut off point .
Make sure that you complete tax returns at year end , as you may be entitled to refund...
AFAIK... If you were using all your SRCOP and Tax Credits with Employer#1, the effect of being on 'Emergency Tax' with Employer#2 would have meant that you will have
underpaid your tax i.e. being on Emergency Taxyou should have been allowed an
additional 8 weeks SRCOP @ €700 pw +
additional TC of €36 pw for the first 4 weeks (or 2 months SCROP at €3034 pm + TC of €153 for month 1) above you entitlment.
From Week9 or Month3 onwards 'Emergency Tax' will, in effect, operate the same as having a "
...tax credit certificate with zero tax credits and zero standard rate cut off point ...".
Therefore I think you should be prepared, at year end when you fill in your return, to pay a little more tax!
And, AFAIK, if you 'regularise' the situation and both employers receive a copy of your P2C, both 'employments' will be mentioned on the document...
I think Revenue will, if asked, hold off sending P2C's to employers but will inform them of the SCROP's and TC's applicable to that particular employment!
