Which form is filled by an employee to obtain a Tax Credit Certificate (TCC) from the tax office?

• A. Form 12
• B. Form P21
• C. Form P60
• D. Form P45

Answer: (A)

Think about how tax credits get set up for your pay. The Tax Credit Certificate tells your employer how much tax to deduct from your wages. To get that certificate, you submit Form 12 to Revenue with your personal tax credits and allowances. Revenue then uses that information to calculate your tax credits and issue the Tax Credit Certificate, which your employer uses to apply the correct tax rate to your pay. The other forms are used for different payroll situations: a P45 is issued when you leave a job, a P60 is the year‑end summary of pay and tax, and P21 relates to tax reconciliation in certain cases. So the form you fill to obtain the Tax Credit Certificate is Form 12.
