Tax Credit Certificate
Because there were no changes to PAYE announced in the December 2010 Budget, Revenue are not sending out 2010 post-Budget Tax Credit Certificates to employees. The 2009 Tax Credit Certificates are valid for 2009 and following years and will continue to be used for 2010. However, if you wish,
- You can register for PAYE Anytime where there is a facility to view and/or print your Tax Credit Certificate for 2010.
- You can obtain a paper copy of your certificate by texting your PPSN + the word cert to 51829. For example, if your PPS number is 1234567A, text 1234567A cert to 51829
- You can also contact your Local Revenue office and request a Tax Credit Certificate.
Revenue will continue to issue revised Tax Credit Certificates for 2010 where employees' circumstances change during 2010.
