I authorise My Tax Rebate to append my signature to the Authorisation Form(s) they will submit to the Irish Tax Authorities.
1. Authorisation to act as agent
I, the undersigned, declare to the Revenue Commissioners of Ireland, that I authorise My Tax Rebate (TAIN 77632V) to act as my agent in dealing with all aspects of the filing of my Irish income tax return, including the submission of refund or credit claims, allowances or reliefs.
I confirm that all documentary evidence of entitlement to credits/reliefs claimed and taxable income sources, will be held for a period of 6 years beginning at the
end of the year of assessment to which the Return of Income and/or claim relates by myself, unless otherwise stated and provided by me to My Tax Rebate.
I understand that this agreement will remain in place until such time as either party, the client or the agent, has notified the Revenue Commissioners of Ireland in writing of their wish to cancel this agreement.
2. Terms and Conditions of Authorisation
2. I understand that Tax law provides for both civil penalties and criminal sanctions for the failure to make a return, the making of a false return, facilitating the making of a false return, or claiming tax credits, allowances or reliefs which are not due.
I confirm that I will provide the necessary documentation to My Tax Rebate to support any refund, credit claims or claims for allowances and reliefs made to Revenue on my behalf by My Tax Rebate.
I confirm that I will provide details of all my sources of income to My Tax Rebate.
I understand that the person selected in Section 1 above is required to retain all documentation relating to any refund or credit or allowance or relief claimed by the agent on my behalf for a period of 6 years beginning at the end of the year of assessment to which the Return of Income and / or claim relates and that My Tax Rebate will be required to produce same to Revenue upon request.
3. Scope of Authorisation
I understand that My Tax Rebate is to act as my agent in respect of Income Tax, where I am registered for Income Tax, for the purpose of cancelling my Income Tax registration and/or filing an Income Tax return for years where such cancellation is not possible or required.

We provide the following services for Irish PAYE taxpayers:
• PAYE and USC tax rebate claims for the previous 4 years

• Updating, amending, and reallocating current year tax credits
• Automatic tax reviews for the next 4 years (for continuing clients)
2.2 Service Limitations
We do NOT provide services for:
• Individuals registered for Income Tax (self-employed persons)

• Provide accurate personal and employment information
• Maintain valid contact details and bank account information
3. FEE STRUCTURE AND PAYMENT
3.1 Fee Calculation
Our fee is 15% + VAT (currently 23%) of the Revenue approved refund amount. There is no minimum fee and we operate on a strict "No Refund, No Fee" basis. If Revenue issues no refund, you owe no fee.
3.2 Payment Method and Timing
For New Clients (registered from 1st January 2025 onwards):
• Revenue will send refunds directly to your bank account
• We will request your bank details upon registration
• Payment to us will be collected via Direct Debit after your refund is approved
For Existing Clients (registered before 1st January 2025):
• Clients with our bank details on Revenue record: Refunds may be issued directly to our bank account, and we will forward your refund to you promptly, via cheque or bank transfer, minus our fee
• Clients without our bank details on Revenue record who have not submitted a new application form: Revenue will issue the refund directly to you and you will be invoiced for our fee, which must be paid by bank card. Invoiced amounts must be paid by bank card within 7 days; failure to do so will incur a €12 monthly late fee.
3.3 Direct Debit Authorisation
By registering with us, you authorise us to:
• Initiate a Direct Debit mandate via GoCardless for each approved refund claim
• Automatically reactivate Direct Debit collection for annual reviews
• Collect our fee once Revenue approves your refund
3.4 Alternative Payment Arrangements
If you cannot pay by Direct Debit, we may (at our sole discretion) agree to:
• Card payment via Stripe
• Phased payment plan
3.5 Late Payment
If payment is not received:
• A late payment fee of €12 per month will apply (unless a payment plan is in place)
• We may engage a debt collection agency
• Unpaid balances may be referred to Small Claims Court
• You remain liable for our fee even if you cease our services after claim submission
3.6 Uncashed Cheques & Additional Charges:
Where a cheque has not been cashed within the 6-month timeframe and therefore goes out of date, an administration charge of €15 (+VAT of 23%) will be applied to re-issue the refund.
Where a cheque has not been cashed by the end of June of the following year, an administration charge of either €15 (+VAT of 23%) or one third of the original value of the refund (including VAT), whichever is greater, will be applied to the client’s account each year the refund remains unclaimed.
Where a client has requested a review directly from the Revenue Commissioners and has failed to remove My Tax Rebate’s bank account details from their profile, a €15.00 (+VAT of 23%) administrative charge will be deducted by My Tax Rebate for each refund processed.
