Revenue has published its Annual Report for 2023. The report reflects another year of strong performance for Revenue as it collected a record amount of tax and duty, with gross receipts amounting to €127.9 billion.
2023 also saw a continuation of high voluntary compliance rates, at over 99 percent for large cases and 98 percent for medium cases. Timely compliance rates for all other cases in 2023 was 91 percent, up from 88 percent in 2022. In the same period, Revenue completed over 291,000 compliance interventions with a yield of €787 million and 85 tax avoidance cases with a yield of €16.5 million.
Revenue also published a number of other research and statistical papers on Corporation Tax, Income Tax, VAT together with a survey of PAYE customers in 2023 and an evaluation of Budget 2023 compliance measures.
Commenting on today’s publications Revenue Chairman, Niall Cody, said:
“Continued strong levels of timely and voluntary compliance rates confirm that the vast majority of taxpayers pay the right amount of tax at the right time. Given the exceptional disruption which individual taxpayers, businesses and agents have experienced over the past four years, this is an extremely positive reflection on their continued engagement with their tax compliance obligations, and the importance that society generally places on a strong culture of voluntary and timely tax compliance.
We acknowledge and thank all taxpayers and their representatives for their ongoing engagement and co-operation.”
