Revenue has released a statement following the flooding caused by Storm Babet. It understands that taxpayers may have temporary cashflow difficulties that can impact on the timely payment of tax. Revenue is advising taxpayers facing tax payment difficulties due to the disruption caused by the recent flooding in Counties Cork, Waterford, Limerick, Kilkenny, and Louth to engage early with Revenue.
Revenue advises such taxpayers to contact the Collector-General’s office on 01 738 3663 to agree mutually suitable payment arrangements.
Speaking last week, Mr. Joe Howley, Collector-General, said:
“The disruption caused by severe weather events can give rise to temporary cashflow difficulties, and we are aware that this can be a worrying time for those impacted. Early engagement with Revenue in such cases is key, as we will work with taxpayers to come to a mutually agreeable solution. This will enable good compliance records to remain on track.
Revenue has a proven track record in successfully agreeing flexible payment arrangements with taxpayers, and taxpayers can be confident that we will take their financial circumstances and capacity to pay into account.”
