Don’t think it’s capped at 1000 either. Anything you earn or receive in life is liable to tax unless specified otherwise.
That is the default that people should know to assume. This goes for unemployment benefit and any kind of social welfare received too. Grants etc. Everything.
As the old saying goes - there’s only two things in this life you must do. Pay taxes and die  |

No didn’t miss much work (alas). Heard it was happening months ago mind. It’s only paying some tax back in lumber rather than whole payment, which is sound. |

I was lucky enough to remain in work but for those were temp unemployed why should they have to pay back tax on this. If they had to sign on the the proper dole they wouldn't be asked to pay extra tax when they get back working |

They are being paid money. Any money you earn you pay tax. If they were working they’d be paying tax and this money is in lieu of that. Ergo they have to pay tax on it. If you’re on the dongle you’re also liable to tax |

Whatever about the PUP but the TWSS is a bit harsh. Our company went on it in the first lockdown when they didnt need to. Just taking total advantage. We were busier than ever. But they still went on it. My wage all the way through it was the same. As in my net pay after taxes even on the TWSS was the same as before it came in. If the company had never went on it I would have still been coming out with the same but my taxes would have been paid. So it feels like getting taxed on you wage after it was already taxed. I know it technically wasnt but doenst make it any sweeter. |

"Is this for self employed and paye workers..
Anybody who availed of pup or wage subsidy scheme"
While everyone who has received pup will have to face tax liability, this letter went only to paye workers.
The self employed have to do their own tax return by the end of the year. |

Funny how the revenue forgot to send out all the letters to all the people they owe money to.
The vast majority PAYE worker are over taxed every year. For most people it worthwhile doing a tax return at the end of the tax year. But most don't  |

I also thought that as pup was paid as an emergency payment from March that those payments are exempt from tax, that was until the government changed the status of that payment in August which meant it was taxable from August. Can anyone clarify if its now being taxed from last March or from last August? |

"Its been taxable from the start and most people knew that
If you didnt your wages dept should have informed you "
Emergency payments are exempt from tax though? Pup was paid originally as an emergency payment? |

Yes but it was set up quickly just to get money into people's hands as the shutters came down
They said it back in march it would be paid gross and the tax would be due later
Every ad had this info |

Your wrong in this point as it turns out. FLAC saying today that taxing it from March could be unconstitutional. |

I just cannot understand the mentality that some people have, that somehow income tax should not apply to them. If you earn above the taxable threshold, regardless of where the income came from, you are obliged to pay tax. I am not always a fan of Revenue but in this case, they are delaying payment by over a year and then spreading it out over a further four years. That seems a very accommodating attiude to me. |

No one said anything about not paying income tax.I pay too much of the fucking thing already, infact a weeks wages out of every month goes on some form of fucking tax. That is fact.I questioned why if as was law that emergency payments were not taxable as has been the case for many years,how come now all of a sudden their deciding pup is taxable and are retrospectivly taxing it? Have a look at FLAC online today. Good info on it |

"FLAC is a charity and not an offical government dept
You might as well ask any other charity for their non expert opinion "
Do you believe the Government always? As for experts, jesus wept if you think the government departments fall into that catagory  |

No one is saying you don’t deserve the pup payment. We’re just saying like any payment, it’s liable to tax. It’s money received/earned and thus you pay tax on the taxable portion |
