You can file the tax return in Ireland up to 4 years back.

In 2026 it is possible to claim the refund for the year 2022 at the latest.

Deadlines for the tax refund from the Ireland for the previous years:

• tax return for the year 2022 - till the 31st of December, 2026

To file the tax return you will need these documents:

• a confirmation of taxable incomes (Employment Detail Summary) from each employer,
• EWR, which documents local income from your home country,
• ID card / passport,
• marriage certificate or birth certificate of the child, if any.

The Employment Detail Summary is a form that every employer must give to their employees at the end of the year. It is a certificate of the employee's annual income and the taxes withheld from each month's wages for the previous calendar year.

To obtain a Employment Detail Summary form, contact your employer and ask them to issue the form. If you had more than one employer, you will need a Employment Detail Summary form from each of them.

The tax must be paid no later than the deadline for filing the tax return, i.e. by 31st of October of the following year.
