Taxpayers have until May 1st to work out a payment plan with the tax authority or repay full amount

Businesses and self-employed people with outstanding warehoused tax debts are being urged to contact the Revenue Commissioners before the May 1st deadline to work out a payment plan to address their liabilities.

There is €1.65 billion of warehouses debt outstanding, the Department of Finance said on Wednesday. While around 70 per cent of 55,490 individual taxpayers with warehoused debts owe less than €5,000, some €1.41 billion is owed by slightly more than 5,000 customers with outstanding balances greater than €50,000. The total amount owed under the scheme has decreased by €1.5 billion since January 2022.
