Claim Back Your Overpaid Tax with Maximum Efficiency
Thousands of PAYE workers, families, and professionals across Ireland leave money behind with Revenue every year. At TAS Consulting, we review your tax history, uncover forgotten reliefs, and secure your maximum tax refund quickly and securely.
Why You Might Be Owed a Tax Refund in Ireland
If you are a PAYE employee, change jobs during the year, work remotely, incur medical costs, or pay tuition fees, you are very likely entitled to a tax refund. Irish Revenue allows you to look back over the previous 4 years to claim overpaid income tax and unused tax credits.
Many people assume their employer or Revenue automatically applies every credit they are due. In reality, credits like health expenses, flat-rate job deductions, and remote working relief must be claimed actively through your MyAccount profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far back can I claim a tax refund in Ireland?
You can claim tax refunds for the current tax year and the previous four years. For example, in 2026, you can submit claims back to the 2022 tax year. Once that window closes, those refunds are permanently lost.
What medical and dental expenses qualify for a tax rebate?
You can claim 20% tax back on qualifying healthcare expenses including doctor visits, consultant fees, physiotherapy, prescribed drugs, and non-routine dental care (such as crowns, root canals, and orthodontic treatment).
How long does it take for Revenue to pay out a tax refund?
Once a Statement of Liability is finalized or a claim is submitted correctly online through Revenue's systems, refunds are typically deposited directly into your bank account within 3 to 5 working days.
Do I need physical receipts to claim my tax back?
Yes. Revenue requires you to retain all receipts and supporting documentation for 6 years in case your claim is selected for a random audit or verification check. Digital photos or PDF scans are fully accepted.
