I have managed to find out the following as an example:
If you are a Class A PRSI contributor you may be entitled to a tax/PRSI refund.
Example for Teachers:
Department paid teachers continue to receive full salary from the Department of Education and Science while on maternity leave and the Department of Education and Science will reclaim any benefits due to you under the maternity leave scheme. Maternity benefit paid to you by the Department of Social and Family Affairs is not regarded as income for the purposes of Income Tax and should be disregarded for all tax purposes. However, the Department of Education and Science deducts tax from your salary while you are on maternity leave.
It is up to each teacher to claim any tax rebate owning to her directly from the revenue commissioners. You should request an MB21 form from the maternity benefit section of the Department of Social and Family Affairs when you have completed your maternity leave. This form will state the amount of maternity benefit which the Department of Social and Family Affairs has paid to the Department of Education and Science in respect of your maternity leave. You should send this form (MB21) along with your P60 for the relevant tax year to your local tax office in order to claim a rebate in relation to your maternity benefit.
You may also obtain a refund of relevant PRSI contributions by completing a form PRSI REF 1 which is available from the Department of Social and Family Affairs. The form PRSI REF 1 must be stamped at section four by the Department of Education and Science before being sent to the Department of Social and Family Affairs
Does the same apply for nurses?
I have managed to get a MB21 and am about to send it off to the tax office.
Is a PRSI REF 1 available anywhere on the internet, for a PRSI refund?
Thank you
