It has been confirmed to Chartered Accountants Ireland that the Revenue Regions/Divisions have been requested not to schedule comprehensive audits or final meetings during the week leading up to the Pay & File ROS filing deadline of 13th November.

According to Revenue, “It is recognised that Tax Practitioners, especially those in small/medium practices, are predominantly occupied with the Income Tax return filing deadline during the month of October and the first half of November each year”.

Revenue asks that practitioners contact their local Districts where return-filing deadlines cannot be met due to exceptional circumstances.
