I am advised by Revenue that there is no record of an application by the person concerned for tax clearance.

There is a real-time online facility available to facilitate applications for tax clearance – the system can be accessed via ROS (business customers) or MyAccount (PAYE and non-ROS customers).

In certain circumstances, applicants can apply for a Tax Clearance Certificate by completing a TC1 Application Form which can be obtained from their local Revenue office or by downloading from the Revenue website. Completed forms must be submitted to the Collector-General's Office, Sarsfield House, Francis Street, Limerick.

Finally, Revenue has drawn attention to the fact that a person’s tax affairs must be in order, including that any tax returns due have been filed with Revenue, before tax clearance will be provided.

Further information, as may be required by the person concerned, can be obtained through Revenue’s Helpline at 01 738 3663.
