Income Tax Pay and File issues 2019

The pay and file online system ROS has been encountering issues presumably due to the volume of last minute filings.

These technical issues led to Revenue extending the pay and file deadline to 6pm on 13 November 2019.

However as issues are still arising Revenue have  issued a further update that states:

"In light of the difficulties experienced with the ROS system over the last couple of days, a surcharge will not apply to any 2018 income tax self-assessed returns filed online this week."  Read More

Hopefully lessons will be learned by everyone from this situation.

• file well in advance of the deadline and set a payment date of the deadline when submitting the return:
• incentivise early filing - a tax discount would be appreciated; and
• test systems in advance to ensure that they can deal with large volumes of data.
