Using a tax agent or tax service
What it means to have an agent
Where you have an agent acting on your behalf, they will:
- have access to your Revenue record
- submit claims on your behalf
- receive correspondence in relation to any claims submitted
- and
- be authorised to receive refunds on your behalf where you have completed Authorisation Form PAYE A2 before 1 January 2025. Your agent will deduct their fee and pay the balance of the amount to you. This facility will be withdrawn by the end of 2025.
Note
Revenue is withdrawing the facility that allows tax agents to receive refunds on your behalf. For further information on this change, please see ‘Upcoming changes to tax agent authorisations’.
