Revenue Commission Unveils E-Filing Figures
Revenue Commission Chairman, Frank Daly on Friday thanked practitioners for
their continued use of the Revenue On-Line Service (ROS) during the recent Pay
and File campaign. He stated that Revenue is encouraged by the increases in timely filing and
payment of taxes. By midnight on 16th November, the tax deadline for electronic filers, a total
of 244,114 income tax returns were filed through ROS. Over 86,000 payments were
made online this year (an increase of 29% over last year). Early indications suggest that over 70% of timely filers used the electronic
route this year. This compares very favourably with the 65% achieved last year
and 53%; 40% and 9% in the preceding years. Online payment of tax also increased this year, with over EUR2.2 billion paid
this year compared to EUR1.4b at the same time last year. A record number of returns (over 30,000) were successfully filed on the last
day. .
