Remote Working Relief

Easy to claim

30% of your utility bills

Health Insurance BIK

Common questions

Is this actually free?

Checking your eligibility and seeing your estimated refund is completely free.

Am I eligible?

If you're a PAYE employee in Ireland (not self-employed), you're almost certainly eligible for at least one relief. Most people who've never claimed are leaving money on the table.

How far back can I claim?

Revenue allows you to claim back 4 years. In 2026, that means you can claim for 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 — all in one go.

Is this the same as filing a tax return?

No. Most PAYE workers claim credits through Revenue's myAccount — it's a simple online form, not a full tax return. Richer.ie gives you the exact steps for each credit.

How much is the average Irish tax refund?

The average Richer.ie user finds €1,200+ in unclaimed tax back across rent, medical expenses, and remote working reliefs — some recover over €3,000 when claiming all 4 years at once.

What is the deadline to claim a tax rebate in Ireland?

You have 4 years to claim. In 2026, you can still claim refunds for 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025. After 31 December 2026, the 2022 tax year closes permanently — so don't wait.

Do I need an accountant to get a tax rebate in Ireland?

No. PAYE employees claim directly through Revenue's free myAccount portal — no accountant needed. Richer.ie calculates your exact entitlements and gives you step-by-step instructions for each relief.
