View answerIn accordance with Section 865 of the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997 any claim for repayment of tax must be made within 4 years after the end of the year to which the claim relates.
I am advised by Revenue that following a contact from the persons concerned in November 2014 a review of their tax affairs was undertaken by Revenue for the years 2010 to 2013 inclusive and tax repayments were made for those years. It is not possible at this stage to review matters prior to 2010.
