Irish Tax Rebates

Irish Tax Rebates: recovering overpaid tax in Ireland

Irish Tax Rebates is a tax advisory firm based in Athy, County Kildare, operating under the umbrella of MB Tax Group. Its activity focuses on reviewing the tax situation of PAYE workers to identify overpaid tax and process its refund with Revenue, the Irish tax authority. The company states it has over twenty years of experience offering independent and confidential tax advice.

Tax review of the last four years

The main service consists of a comprehensive review covering the current year and the previous four. The firm presents itself as an authorised agent of the taxpayer before Revenue and processes the refund of unused credits and reliefs. Among the items it reviews are overpaid income tax, medical expenses, flat-rate expenses, employment expenses, the work-from-home credit, the rent credit and marriage and family tax credits, among others.

Profiles and situations covered

The website highlights several common cases among its clients: people who work from home, taxpayers who have faced medical expenses, those financially supporting a dependent relative, students, married couples and workers with uniform expenses. It also addresses income aggregation and flat-rate medical expense reliefs.

Application process and deadlines

The procedure begins with an online form that the company estimates can be completed in about 60 seconds. The client must then authorise Irish Tax Rebates as agent through Revenue MyAccount by approving the linking request. The team then reviews the tax situation and, if a refund is due, Revenue pays it directly into the taxpayer's bank account or, failing that, by cheque. The firm states that the average refund received by its clients amounts to €1,092 and that the average time to receive it is twelve working days.

Fees and terms of service

The charging model is based on the principle of no rebate, no fee. If no refund is obtained, the company applies no charge. When there is a refund, the maximum fee is 10% plus VAT, with a minimum of €25, and it is deducted from the amount refunded. The firm also offers existing clients the possibility of receiving the reimbursement by bank transfer, cheque or Revolut Pay.

Authorisation as agent before Revenue

The mandate authorises Irish Tax Rebates (TAIN 66436K) to manage all aspects of the Irish income tax return on behalf of the client, including the submission of refund, credit, relief and reduction claims. The authorisation remains in force until the taxpayer or the firm itself formally notifies Revenue of its cessation. The client undertakes to keep the supporting documentation for six years from the end of the year of assessment to which the return relates.
