With a view to ensuring that taxpayer data is kept in a safe, secure and accurate manner in accordance with Data Protection obligations, Revenue has updated the Agent’s Guide to the Collector-General’s Division.
Revenue has advised that where an agent inadvertently uploads claims or returns for an incorrect taxpayer, or attaches information related to a third party, the integrity of the data held by Revenue is compromised. To help ensure that all details entered are correct for the taxpayer, additional text has been added to the agent screens on ROS. The updated manual includes a new section titled “Integrity of Data” explaining the system enhancements for agents.
