Revenue eBrief No. 34/16

31 March 2016

Change of Responsibility for e-Tax Clearance from 1 April 2016

The Collector-General’s office will assume responsibility for tax clearance with effect from 1 April 2016.

The vast majority of taxpayers now apply for tax clearance via the new on-line facility (e-Tax Clearance), without any need to contact Revenue. The system can be accessed via ROS for business customers or via myAccount for PAYE and non-ROS customers.

However, where a taxpayer experiences any difficulties in using the new e-Tax Clearance system or has any queries in regard to tax clearance generally, contact should be made with the Collector-General’s office at telephone number 1890 20 30 70 or by writing to the Office of the Collector-General, Sarsfield House, Francis Street, Limerick. Contact with the Collector-General’s office can also be made via MyEnquiries if the taxpayer is registered for the service.

Where a taxpayer requiring tax clearance is not e-enabled for any reason, contact should be made with the local tax office or with the Collector-General’s office to request a Form TC1, which should be completed and returned to the Office of the Collector-General, Sarsfield House, Francis Street, Limerick.
