Overview
PAYE Returns in Ireland
PAYE (Pay As You Earn) returns are a vital compliance requirement for employers in Ireland. They report employee payroll information to the Revenue Commissioners, including gross pay, tax deductions and social insurance contributions, and are typically submitted monthly or quarterly.
One of the most widely used options is the Revenue Online Service (ROS), the online filing system provided by Revenue. Bradán offers support and services to enable employers to view and download statements of account and make payments online.
We can also integrate and implement cloud applications to help you manage payroll and compliance, including the submission of PAYE returns. Accurate, on-time filing avoids penalties and fines, and employers must keep payroll and PAYE records for six years.
