Irish Citizenship Application - Tax Clearance Cert NI

[mitzy2022]

Hi,

I'm applying for Irish citizenship based on 3 yeas living in Northern Ireland with Irish spouse,

I'm trying to get a Tax Clearance cert from HMRC but every person i have spoken to when i called doesn't know nothing about this cert,

So do i just send in application without this cert and a detailed letter explaining it's not available to people living in Northern Ireland?

Anybody here living in the North come accross this and what did you do?

Thank you

Confirmation of Tax Compliance. HMRC does not issue a certificate or
document to state tax compliance. As a salaried employee of the NHS
under a PAYE system, will submission of my P60s be sufficient proof? If
not, can you advise?

Someone in the thread called HRMC and got a letter confirming their tax affairs are in order, maybe try that route?

Thanks anyway for replying

Yep, HMRC confirmed to me that they don't give out Tax Clearance Certificates (and the people I spoke to hadn't even heard of them), but the guidance at the start of Form 8 states:

For applicants who reside outside the State, a TCC is required or where this service may not be available by the relevant Revenue authorities then confirmation of tax compliance in the relevant jurisdiction from the Revenue authority is required.

So, I phoned HMRC, went through to the relevant PAYE department, and asked for a letter confirming my tax compliance, and they were happy to issue me with the following letter which I submitted with my application. I guess as someone who isn't in employment you may find it harder to get them to issue one as they'll have less records of your tax.
