Payments

There are three payment methods currently available in ROS:

  • ROS Debit Instruction (RDI)
    The Debit Instruction method requires that customers must complete a ROS Debit Instruction (RDI) in order to make payments for any of the taxes available in ROS. The RDI includes details of the ROS customer's bank account from which Revenue can collect the appropriate liability at the due date. The RDI can be completed on-line by the taxpayer or his tax agent on the ROS site, digitally signed and digitally transmitted to Revenue. Once the RDI has been set up on ROS, the taxpayer or agent acting on his behalf authorises the payment for the requisite amount and period.
  • Laser Card
    When a payment is due and is being paid on-line, the details of the taxpayers bank debit card are input and each individual payment is authorised by the customer.
  • Online Banking
    Online banking can be used for paying outstanding Income Tax liabilities only.

For each of these payment methods only the exact amounts authorised by ROS customers or their agents on their behalf are deducted from bank accounts. The requisite amounts are never deducted by Revenue in advance of the due dates, even where returns are filed early. If for whatever reason a customer does not wish to make a payment that is due or is only making a partial payment, it is important to note that Revenue will not deduct the tax owed without authorisation from the customer.

Access Control

ROS has a specially designed access control system which allows an agent or 'administrator' in the firm, (the Senior Partner or Financial Controller, for example), provide the appropriate access to ROS for staff within the business or practice. This control system is hosted on ROS but is maintained by the administrator using his or her digital certificate for identification and access. In many tax practices and in larger businesses staff have different levels of authorisation in relation to certain clients or in relation to filing certain returns. Some may get permission to view certain details on ROS solely. Others may be enabled to file VAT returns while others may be enabled to file all returns on behalf of certain clients. A Senior Partner might reserve certain clients to him or herself exclusively.
