Revenue recently wrote to employers who according to records did not inform Revenue when new employees took up employment with them. Some 30,000 letters in total were issued.

Following analysis of the 2016 P35 returns, as part of the PAYE modernisation programme, Revenue are asking employers to register all new employees so that they can obtain a P2C – the employer copy of the tax credit certificate.

These letters are issuing to employers by post and where the employer has a tax agent, a copy will issue to the agent’s ROS inbox under the category of ‘PAYE-EMP P35L Review’.

You can read more on the PAYE modernisation programme from Revenue in a feature article by Sinead Sweeney on here of this issue of tax.point.
