Hello All,
I checked my PAYE Online last month and saw 2 messages from May 2011. One related to an underpayment of €360 in 2007 and another for €400 in 2008.
I was not sent any correspondence at the time and the underpayments where not explained. The amounts have been taken off my 2012 tax credits.
I bought my house in 2006 and claimed Mortage Interest Relief and Rent Relief for 2006. In 2007 I contacted Revenue and told them my situation, that I had to rent becasue my newly purchased house was uninhabitable (1890's terrace which had not been lived in for 10 years, no heating, outdoor toilet, mould etc etc). I spent ayear getting planning permissiona nd overa year renovating it myslef, paying for it with monthly paychecks. As a result I was told this fell under a 'special circumstances' where you could claim both.
Now they are informing me, that you cannot claim both. They have not mentioned the 'special circumstances' clause where I wa sinformed you could (e.g. new build/renovation) nor have they asked me my side of the story.
It would have been fairer for Revenue to ask me why i did what i did, rather then just take the money without informing me.
Im waiting now for their reply. Does anybody have any similiar experince of this issue (somewhat unusual I understand)
Thanks,
Bob!
