Find Out What You’re Owed
Every year, thousands of PAYE workers in Ireland overpay tax without knowing it. You could be entitled to multiple tax rebates — including the rent tax credit, medical expenses, working-from-home relief, tuition fees and the dependent relative tax credit.
At Irish Tax Rebates, our team reviews your tax records, identifies every credit you’re entitled to, and submits the claim to Revenue on your behalf. Most clients receive refunds covering up to four years of unclaimed relief.

How Do Tax Rebates Work in Ireland?
PAYE workers are taxed automatically through payroll, but Revenue does not apply personal credits or expense-based reliefs unless you claim them. A tax rebate occurs when too much tax has been deducted during the year.
- Unclaimed tax credits
- Medical expenses not submitted
- Working from home costs
- Incorrect tax bands
- Life changes such as marriage or childcare
You can claim rebates for the past four years.
