I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that the Department of Social and Family Affairs has finalised arrangements with them in this matter and that the Collector General's division of Revenue is now dealing with refunds of PRSI in the circumstances outlined. The Department of Social and Family Affairs will advertise to advise the public of the position early in the new year.
Claims will be processed by: Customer Service Section, Collector General, Sarsfield House, Limerick, LoCall 1890 203070, Fax 061 488673. Prior to any claim for PRSI refund, an application for refund of tax on the pension contribution must have been made to the applicant's tax district. At the end of the tax year a claim for refund of PRSI should then be made in writing to the customer service section, including a copy of the P60 for the tax year to which the claim relates. I am also advised that claims already forwarded to the Department of Social and Family Affairs have been transferred to Revenue for processing.
