Deposit Interest
Can you claim a DIRT refund?
At the end of the year, you may be entitled to claim a refund of Deposit Interest Retention Tax (DIRT) from Revenue.
You may be due a refund because:
- you are now over 65 years of age
- your income went temporarily over the exemption limit
- you have become incapacitated
- or
- it is the first year that you successfully applied for a DIRT exemption, but the financial institution had already deducted DIRT.
If this is the case, you should complete a Form 54 Claims and send it to your Revenue Office. If we accept your claim, we will send you the refund.
CervicalCheck Relevant Payment monies:
A refund may be due if DIRT was deducted on the interest earned on the deposit of CervicalCheck Relevant Payment monies.
You should send your completed Form 54 Claims to:
Sensitive Cases Unit,
Office of the Revenue Commissioners,
P.O. Box 13274,
Letterkenny,
Co. Donegal.
First-time buyers
If you are a first-time buyer, you can apply for a DIRT refund under the Help to Buy (HTB) incentive.
