73. To ask the Minister for Finance if he will extend the tax deadline by three weeks to enable accountancy firms to deal with delays caused by Covid-19 and the local property tax deadline falling so close. [55173/21]

Revenue has already extended the return filing date for self-assessed taxpayers to 17 November (from 31 October) and has extended the Local Property Tax (LPT) filing date to 5pm on 10 November (from 7 November).

Revenue has advised me that while no further extensions to the self-assessed deadline are envisaged at this time, the situation is being kept under review.

Under the current arrangements, where a tax accountancy firm is unable to meet the filing deadline due to delays caused by COVID-19, it should contact Revenue through the MyEnquiries service setting out the exceptional reasons for the delay, the detail of the taxpayers involved and confirming a timeline by which the returns will be filed.
