Revenue deadline: online pay and file increased again this year

More and more taxpayers are conducting their business with Revenue online. By last night’s midnight deadline (10/11/16), more than 444,000 income tax returns for 2015 were filed through ROS, the Revenue Online Service. This represents an increase of 5.3% on last year, and this year also saw a significant shift to online payment, which increased by 24.6% on last year.

Early indications suggest that over 90.5% of timely filers used the electronic route this year.

The ROS & Payment Support helpdesks remained open until midnight last night, assisting customers and practitioners to file returns and make payments right up to the deadline.
