Revenue Job Assist

If you are claiming Jobseeker's Benefit or Jobseeker's Allowance for 12 months or more, and you are returning to employment you may be able to claim additional tax allowances under the Revenue Job Assist scheme. An extra tax allowance can be claimed for each qualifying child. The tax allowance can be claimed for 3 tax years and may begin with either the tax year in which the employment commences or the following tax year.

It is important to note that you will not qualify for this scheme if you have had even one days employment in the last 12 months prior to applying for/taking up the scheme.
