The Department of the Taoiseach does not hold tax payment information for companies or individuals.
Procurement within the Department of the Taoiseach is guided by the Office of Government Procurement and EU Directive – 2014/24 on public procurement. As part of all procurement processes carried out by this Department, contractors must comply with all EU and domestic tax laws.
Prior to completion of any procurement process with the Department of the Taoiseach, all contractors must supply Tax Clearance reference details to facilitate on-line verification through the Office of the Revenue Commissioners. This ensures that all payments made by the Department of the Taoiseach are tax compliant, but does not provide the Department of the Taoiseach with information as to the tax residency of contractors.
