Questions and Answers
If I file early, do I have to pay early?
I was thinking of filling my tax return early this year, but will that mean I need to pay my tax bill early?
The good news is that even if you file your tax return early with the Revenue Commissioners, you do not have to pay any tax bill early. You are only obliged to pay by the normal due date of 31 October, or 12 November if paying and filing online.
Furthermore, if you file early and are due a refund this should be processed straight away!
Some other advantages to filing early include having time to budget if you have a bill to pay and it will ensure you don’t miss the deadline and incur fines.
