Surcharge for late submission of tax return
In cases where a penalty is applied under section 1077E of the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997 (TCA 1997) for the deliberate or careless making of an incorrect return, a taxpayer will not be liable to a surcharge (section 1084 TCA 1997) provided the return was made in a timely manner in the first instance. Revenue has updated its Tax and Duty manual to reflect this position.
