How content is written, reviewed, sourced and updated on Irish Tax Refund Guide.
Content on this site is researched and drafted by Vitor Oliveira Alves, co-founder of D'Emilia Accounting, and reviewed for technical accuracy by Marina Luna Oliveira d'Emilia, a qualified accountant with direct experience preparing PAYE reviews and Revenue submissions for clients in Ireland.
The division of responsibility reflects our respective roles: Vitor produces content that is readable, well-structured, and accessible to people who are not accountants; Marina verifies that the relief amounts, thresholds, eligibility rules and procedural steps are accurate and consistent with current Revenue guidance. No page is published without this review step.
Every factual claim about Irish tax reliefs, rates, thresholds, and procedures is traced to a primary source before publication. The primary sources we use are:
Where we cite a specific TDM or Finance Act provision, we include a reference in the text or in a footnote-style note at the bottom of the page. General descriptions that are consistent across multiple sources may not carry an individual citation but are verifiable through the sources listed above.
Content is reviewed and updated when any of the following occur:
Pages carry a "Last reviewed" date at the top or bottom. This date reflects the most recent substantive review, not merely a formatting change.
Irish Tax Refund Guide is owned and operated by D'Emilia Accounting. The site does not accept paid editorial placements, sponsored articles, or payments from third parties in exchange for coverage. Recommendations on this site — for example, a suggestion to use MyAccount rather than a third-party refund company — reflect our honest assessment based on professional experience, not a commercial arrangement.
D'Emilia Accounting does offer professional accounting services, and links to demiliaaccounting.ie appear on this site. Those links are clearly identified. They represent a genuine commercial interest, which we disclose. The editorial content — the guides, the worked examples, the explanations of Revenue processes — is not written to direct readers toward paying for our services. It is written to answer the question the reader came with.
Advertising on this site is served through Google AdSense. Advertisers have no influence over editorial content. The presence or absence of an advertisement has no bearing on how a topic is covered.
We use AI writing tools during the drafting process to improve structure and readability. All content produced with AI assistance is reviewed by a human author (Vitor Oliveira Alves) and verified against primary sources by a qualified accountant (Marina Luna Oliveira d'Emilia) before publication. We do not publish AI-generated figures, thresholds, or procedural descriptions without independent verification against Revenue's own documentation. If a discrepancy arises between AI-generated content and a primary source, the primary source takes precedence.
We take corrections seriously. If you believe a page on this site contains a factual error, please follow the process described on our Corrections Policy page. Verified corrections are applied to the page promptly and noted with a revision date. We do not quietly amend errors without acknowledgement — if a significant change is made, it is marked on the page.
This editorial policy applies to all guide pages, explanatory articles, and informational content published on irishtaxrefund.ie. It does not govern advertising content served by third parties, which is subject to Google's own policies.
