I am advised by Revenue that it provides a wide range of online payment facilities to support taxpayers in meeting their tax payment obligations. These payment options are available through the Revenue On-Line Service (ROS) and the MyAccount service on a 24/7 basis and are fully secure.
The available on-line options include ROS Debit Instruction (RDI), Single Debit Instruction (SDI), direct debit and debit/credit card facilities. For Local Property Tax (LPT), Revenue also provides deduction at source from salary, pension and certain Government payments as well as through approved third-party service providers, including An Post, Omnivend and Payzone.
Finally, while Revenue’s strong preference is to manage payments through its on-line channels, it will accept cheque or electronic file transfer payments on an exceptional basis where it is the most viable alternative for individual taxpayers.
