I am advised by the Revenue Commissioners that a tax clearance certificate will normally be issued within six working days to a person whose tax affairs are up to date. This means that at the time of the application, the person:
has made all of the required returns to Revenue, and
has paid all tax known to be due or agreed a payment schedule in respect of such tax debts.
Where an applicant for tax clearance does not meet the criteria mentioned, a formal notification of refusal setting out the basis for the refusal, is issued by Revenue. If the applicant subsequently satisfactorily resolves the issues that have been notified to him/her, Revenue will then issue a tax clearance certificate.
