View answerI am advised that Revenue has announced a further four-week extension to the Income Tax Pay & File deadline for customers making their returns and payments through the Revenue On-Line System (ROS). The additional time, to Thursday 10 December 2020, is in recognition of the challenges being experienced by the business community and by tax practitioners arising from the COVID-19 pandemic.
The extension applies to customers who file their 2019 Form 11 Income Tax return, pay any balance due for that year and pay Preliminary Tax for 2020 through ROS.
The extended filing date is also applicable to beneficiaries who received gifts or inheritances with valuation dates in the year ended 31 August 2020 and who make a Capital Acquisitions Tax (CAT) return and the appropriate payment through ROS.
