Don't Leave Money On The Table

You can only claim tax refunds for the past 4 years. Every day that passes, you lose the ability to claim another day from 4 years ago.

Example: If you're owed €1,200/year and wait 2 years to claim, you've lost €2,400 you could never get back.

Claim now while you can still get 2021, 2022, 2023 & 2024 refunds.
