Wondering if anyone can help me. My dad was recently made redundent from his job. He went to claim from social welfare and was told that for 2004 he did not have enought 'stamps'. This is despite him working full time that year. He did change jobs during the latter part of the year and these are the only 'stamps' on record. He has made contact with the employer who has told him that as far as he is aware all payments have been made but has been unable to contact his accountant due to sickness. I'm just wondering what the next step is for my dad. Its the first time in many years that he has been unemployed and we are in the dark about what to do. I have been in touch with the tax office on his behalf but to no avail. Is the onus on my dad to ensure that the employer paid his tax or is the onus on the emplyer?
Thanks
