This concerns payment of tax by relevant payment methods. This section provides that tax can be paid to Revenue by credit card, debit card or any other method or methods of payment which is or are approved by the Revenue Commissioners. The section enables the Revenue Commissioners to make regulations relating to these payment methods. This measure is a customer service initiative to provide taxpayers with additional options for the payment of taxes and duties and will give them greater flexibility for making payments while also facilitating voluntary compliance.
