Hi,

My employer gave me a P60 last year and when i submitted that to revenue they said there is some issue with it and had sent a letter to Employer asking to correct it and send proper P60.

After 2 months he still hasn't sent the P60 to revenue and when i asked him numerous time he used to ignore it. I had told revenue that this employer is not giving the correct P60 and also he does not give the payslip to any of his employer. The revenue customer service told me they cannot do anything in this regard and it is upto me to get it.

This is a pathetic way the revenue is dealing with payee employees. There is no way to punish people who are defrauding the revenue with tax and openly challenging them. Even after written complaints they cannot do anything.
What is the point paying tax to revenue when such Employer can go scot free after doing tax fraud.

Does nayone know how can i get the correct P60 as i need it to get some tax credit back.

Thanks
 
Did you contact the Audit section of the Revenue?
How does your employer get away with not giving payslips?
 
They told it will take months to go to audit section as they are short of staff and they are looking at bigger issues.

I had raised it many times with revenue that employer does not give payslips to any of the employees and they just told me i have to take this with other agencies.

Even another employee also complained to revenue when she was going for maternity leave and it seems her taxes are alos not in order.
 
Did you write a letter of complaint to revenue and did they reply in writing?
 
Yes they have in writing but the Revenue did not come back to me but instead contacted the Employer for the correct P60, which he refused to provide.

When i asked about the update after 2 months then revenue told they are waiting for the P60 from employer.
 
So revenue did not reply directly to your letter. Did your letter have all the issues you have with your employer on it, I'd send it again but do it by registered post. Then they cannot claim never to have received it.
 
It is not Revenues job to ensure that employers give their employees payslips. There are so many regulations that apply to employers that I will not get into them but as mentioned above NERA are the agency to deal with employment rights and they are the people that you should call.

What specifically is the issue with your P60.
A. is the gross pay on your P60 different to what you had agreed.
B. has the incorrect amount of tax been deducted.
C. has the wrong rate of PRSI been applied to your salary.
D. has the wrong amount of USC been deducted.

You will be able to compute these yourself. http://www.deloitte.ie/tc/

The employer has to submit a P35 at the end of the year to the Revenue, if they have issued you with a P60 and it does not match what they sent in or they did not send it in at all then. They would want to be nuts to issue you with a P60 and deliberately file different figures.

I'm sure that Revenue will get around to dealing with your employer in due course, there may be an innocent explanation, there was a poster on here recently who forgot to file the P35. The payroll person may be out sick.
 
The reason why I am not concerned with Payslip is i don't want to burn bridges with the employer. He paid me in cheque every month for couple of years.

The revenue told me when i submitted P60 for claiming tax credits that there is some difference in taxes submitted by employer. I don't know much about accountancy.
