Facsimile Tax Returns: Corporation Tax CT1 2007 and 2008

In e-Brief 25/2005 Revenue announced the withdrawal of the facility to use facsimile versions of the Income tax Form 11 and the Corporation Tax Form CT1. As part of the consultation process on mandatory e-filing and e-paying, Revenue has offered the incentive of extending the deadline for the use of facsimile versions of Form CT1.

Revenue will accept approved facsimile versions of Form CT1 2007 for accounting periods ending up to and including 31 December 2007, filed before 21 December 2008.

Revenue will accept approved facsimile versions of Form CT1 2008 for accounting periods ending 31 March 2008, filed before 21 December 2008.

Thereafter, the only versions of Form CT1 that will be accepted are the paper forms produced by Revenue and the electronic ROS return.

Further information on the production of ROS compatible xml files can be obtained from the download link on the ROS Homepage. Queries in relation to xml files should be directed to rosmanager@revenue.ie

ROS also provides web services for Form CT1, which allow ROS registered customers file their returns directly from their software packages to ROS. Full details are available under Specifications and Schemas for Web Services on www.ros.ie. Queries in relation to web services developments and testing should be directed to: rosdevsupport@revenue.ie
