Revenue<\/a> collected about \u20ac734 million after completing more than 291,600 audit and compliance interventions last year, it said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Revenue published preliminary results for 2025, including tax and duty collected, services provided to customers, timely compliance rates, and yield from a range of compliance and enforcement interventions.<\/p>\n

It said it settled 189 tax avoidance cases yielding \u20ac41.7 million, and secured 204 criminal convictions for tax evasion offences. Revenue also published 113 settlements in the list of tax defaulters.<\/p>\n

Revenue chairman Niall Cody said 2025 was a \u201cproductive and important year\u201d for Revenue. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe exchequer returns for 2025 show receipts of \u20ac106 billion in taxes and duties,\u201d he said. \u201cIn addition, Revenue collected over \u20ac34 billion on behalf of other departments, agencies and EU member states.<\/p>\n

\u201cTimely compliance rates remained strong in 2025, with voluntary compliance delivering rates of 99 per cent for large and medium cases and 92 per cent across all other cases. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis performance reflects the continued commitment of businesses, individual taxpayers and tax practitioners to meet their obligations. Revenue continues to support voluntary compliance through clear guidance, timely information, and effective services.\u201d<\/p>\n

Revenue\u2019s digital services continued to be the primary channel through which individuals and businesses engaged with the tax system, as it processed more than 87 million transactions in the year.<\/p>\n

Revenue launched the 2025 local property tax (LPT) revaluation campaign with residential property owners obliged to file for the 2026 to 2030 period. <\/p>\n

Commissioner Maura Kiely said there has been a \u201cstrong response\u201d to date. \u201cProperty owners are reminded that for 2026 they are required to determine the valuation band of their property, submit their LPT return and arrange payment,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cPayments made in full by credit or debit card or by cash are due by January 9th. There is also an option to select an annual debit authority, which will be collected on March 20th.\u201d<\/p>\n

The residential zoned land tax, which applies to serviced and serviceable land zoned for residential use, came into effect in 2025. Maps are now being published by local authorities in respect of the 2026 filing period.<\/p>\n

Revenue said it works alongside compliant taxpayers experiencing temporary difficulties who continue submitting returns, engage early and agree phased payment arrangements to maintain compliance. <\/p>\n

Where taxpayers do not comply with their obligations, debt management tools are deployed to address noncompliance \u201ccontributing to strong overall compliance rates and ensuring a level playing field for all taxpayers\u201d, Revenue said. <\/p>\n

There were also \u201cstrong compliance rates\u201d among taxpayers repaying Covid-19 warehoused debt through phased payment arrangements, with 95 per cent of the 12,700 arrangements being honoured, and monthly payments averaging \u20ac23 million.<\/p>\n

Following a Supreme Court judgment concerning pizza chain Dominos, Revenue provided employers with an opportunity to regularise bona-fide misclassification of employees for 2024 and 2025 without penalty or interest. <\/p>\n

The deadline to avail of the disclosure opportunity is January 30th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Revenue collected about \u20ac734 million after completing more than 291,600 audit and compliance interventions last year, it said…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":232864,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[72,61,60,33320,11522,5066],"class_list":["post-232863","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-business","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-local-property-tax","tag-revenue-commissioners","tag-tax"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/232863","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=232863"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/232863\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/232864"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=232863"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=232863"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=232863"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
