Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform

Proposed Changes to Pay and File Tax Date: Discussion with Irish Tax Institute

4:10 pm

Ms Cora O'Brien:

Yes, contractors need to bring a template to the Collector General. The issue of the contractors is tricky because of the people involved, who are young and do not have any money. There is a practical problem with getting a payment plan in place for them. In general, our members have found that Revenue has been flexible on payment plans in other situations and where they have looked for instalment arrangements, these arrangements have been forthcoming. The terms vary depending on the plans involved, but there is flexibility in the system allowing people pay by instalment if necessary. That is a feature of the contractors' project.
