Using a tax agent or tax service

Removing an agent and updating bank account details

You can remove an agent from your Revenue record at any time. You must update the bank account details saved in your myAccount profile if you:

• have previously authorised an agent to receive refunds on your behalf
• and
• have ceased your relationship with them.

If you do not remove your agent from your Revenue record, they will continue to receive correspondence and have access to your records. Revenue also recommends advising your agent directly that you no longer require their services.

If you want to remove an agent from your Revenue record, you can:

• sign into MyAccount and remove the agent through the ‘My Profile’ or ‘Manage my Record’ tabs
• make a request through My Enquiries in MyAccount
• or
• make a request in writing to your Revenue office.

You can also update your bank account details in the ‘My Profile’ or the ‘Manage my Record’ sections in MyAccount.

If you have previously authorised an agent to receive refunds on your behalf, you must update the bank account details saved in your myAccount profile. If you do not do this, any future refunds will continue to be paid into your agent’s bank account.

Note

The facility for Pay As You Earn (PAYE) agents to receive refunds on behalf of their clients is being phased out. From 1 January 2026, it will no longer be available. For further information, please see ‘Upcoming changes to tax agent authorisations’.
