Following discussions through the TALC process, Revenue advised that they were implementing a revised processing approach to improve the turnaround time on tax refund claims. Following this, Revenue has announced in eBrief No. 77/09 that changes have been implemented to internal procedures for refunds of Income Tax, Corporation Tax, and Capital Gains Tax, which has resulted in refunds issuing in a shorter timeframe.

Revenue also advises that where taxpayers wish a refund to be offset against a liability they should notify their local Revenue office before submitting the return.
