What happens when you file a return and the Revenue owe you money?

I've tried ringing support on this but their lines are jammers.

After I calculated my tax payable for 2011 and preliminary tax for 2012, it still amounts to less than I paid in preliminary tax last year, so the Revenue own me money.

When I filed my return on ROS yesterday, I entered these details and checked the box that says "refund due".

However, when I look at my returns page in ROS, the latest return still comes up with File / Pay button and there is no date under filed.

Yet, in the Items Submitted to ROS page, it clearly shows that I submitted my return yesterday and on time.

Surely I don't have to pay anything as they owe me?

Thanks!
 
It just takes a couple of day for their system to update submitted returns etc

You should receive the refund before the end of November. If not then contact them early December.
 
A practice they have adopted in the last few years is to 'credit' your account.
It can then be used to offset your next vat bill or tax bill.

If you have outstanding returns due for a given period, they can credit the account
and argue that with you.

A lot can depend on the individual merits of the case
