4Application for a Tax Credit Certificate
You will need to complete Form 12A to apply for your Tax Credit Certificate if you are starting your
first employment in Ireland.
What is a Tax Credit Certificate?
A Tax Credit Certificate is a notice which issues to you that shows your tax credits and rate bands.
How do I apply for my Tax Credit Certificate?
Complete the appropriate sections on Form 12A. Your claim will be processed promptly if you
quote your Personal Public Service (PPS) Number, your Employer’s or Pension Company’s PAYE
Registration Number, and you complete all relevant sections of the form. Send the completed form
to your Revenue office or call in person with the completed form. Both you and your employer will
be notified of your tax credits and ratebands. Your employer will then make the necessary Income
Tax and Universal Social Charge (USC) deductions from your salary.
How do I obtain my Personal Public Service Number (PPS Number)?
Personal Public Service (PPS) numbers are allocated by the Department of Social Protection
(DSP). If you do not have a PPS number, you must register with a DSP local office before you
apply for your Tax Credit Certificate.
Leaflet SW100 - Personal Public Service Number, issued by the DSP gives further information
on how to register for your PPS number. The leaflet is available to view or download from
A list of DSP offices where you can register is also available on their website.
General Information for individuals coming to live in Ireland.
Your entitlement to tax credits depends on your residence position, therefore it is important to tell
your Revenue office what your intentions are with regard to residing in Ireland.
Irish nationals returning to work in Ireland and nationals from other countries coming to work in
Ireland, must complete the Residence Details section on the Form 12A. If you intend living here
for a temporary period, state the expected duration of your stay. This information will assist your
Revenue office in determining your tax credit entitlements.
For further information see Leaflet RES 1 on
What is Emergency Basis?
If your employer/pension company has not received:
•
your PPS number, or
•
a Tax Credit Certificate for your current employment, or
•
a P45 from your previous employer,
income tax and USC on the emergency rates will be deducted from your salary.
For further information, see Revenue’s guide to the Emergency Basis and the current

It is very important that you obtain your Tax Credit Certificate as quickly as possible to avoid
Emergency Tax and/or Emergency USC deductions.
