Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 10 November 2021
73. Deputy Holly Cairns asked the Minister for Finance if he will extend the tax deadline by three weeks to enable accountancy firms to deal with delays caused by Covid-19 and the local property tax deadline falling so close. [55173/21]
View answerRevenue has already extended the return filing date for self-assessed taxpayers to 17 November (from 31 October) and has extended the Local Property Tax (LPT) filing date to 5pm on 10 November (from 7 November).
Revenue has advised me that while no further extensions to the self-assessed deadline are envisaged at this time, the situation is being kept under review.
Under the current arrangements, where a tax accountancy firm is unable to meet the filing deadline due to delays caused by COVID-19, it should contact Revenue through the MyEnquiries service setting out the exceptional reasons for the delay, the detail of the taxpayers involved and confirming a timeline by which the returns will be filed.
