I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that Deposit Interest Retention Tax (DIRT) on interest bearing deposits is returned on a four-times yearly basis by financial institutions: in April, July and October of the tax year in question and in the following January. Returns for each year are due by 15 January of the following year and the total value of DIRT due and paid is reported to Revenue on the January returns at institutional level. Sufficiently detailed information is not required in these returns to identify the DIRT on the dividends paid to children who save at credit unions.
