I am advised by Revenue that in recognition of the difficulties experienced by many households and businesses during recent storms that resulted in significant power outages, Revenue announced yesterday, 25 October, an extension in the online Pay and File deadline to midnight on Thursday 16 November 2017.

A copy of the Press Release is attached for the Deputy’s information.

Revenue extends “Pay and File” deadline to 16 November 2017

Revenue is very aware of the difficulties that affected many households and businesses as a result of the recent storms and is conscious that these may have impacted on preparations to meet the upcoming online Pay and File deadline.

In order to assist customers and practitioners impacted by power outages, Revenue has today advised that the deadline to Pay and File online has been extended to midnight on Thursday 16 November 2017.

The ROS and Payment Support helpdesks will be open until 8pm on the nights leading up to the new deadline, and will remain open until midnight on 16 November, to assist with filing returns and making payments right up to the deadline.

The deadline for paper filers is 31 October 2017 and this remains unchanged.
