Last week Revenue published statistics relating to 2025 PAYE tax returns filed to date this year on the back of which PAYE taxpayers are being encouraged to use the myAccount service to finalise their tax position.
The statistics showed that as at 23 January 2026, over 470,000 PAYE returns had been processed for 2025 which resulted in refunds of over €361 million to PAYE taxpayers.
An analysis of Preliminary End of Year Statements indicates that an underpayment of tax arose in approximately 9 percent of the returns yet to be filed. Revenue will engage with the relevant taxpayers to collect the tax due by reducing tax credits over a four-year period from 2027.
Revenue has reported they estimate a further €462 million of tax may have been overpaid by PAYE taxpayers in 2025. In light of this, Revenue has launched a campaign to encourage PAYE taxpayers to use the myAccount service to finalise their tax position. Revenue has provided details on how to access this service and detailed guidance on submitting a PAYE tax return and claiming tax credits and reliefs.
