Nope, they’re stepping up, ready to work hand-in-hand with businesses that have a good track record but are currently squeezed by these rising costs. It’s almost like having a financial safety net that says, “Hey, we get it.

So, if you’re sweating over tax payments because fuel prices are burning a hole in your budget, the smartest move? Engage early, keep your returns timely, and get those payment plans sorted before stress takes the wheel. Got your attention? You bet. LEARN MORE.

Revenue has said it will engage with viable businesses that are experiencing cash flow issues due to rising cost of fuel.

In a statement on Friday, Revenue said it is aware that rise in fuel and other costs may cause difficulties for certain individuals and businesses.

“Revenue appreciates that this is a difficult time for those affected and confirms that it will work with taxpayers that have been adversely impacted to ensure that good compliance records can remain on track,” it stated.

Collector-general James Twohig said rising fuel and other costs have affected businesses in a number of ways.

“Revenue acknowledges that it can be a worrying time in terms of the ability to keep an otherwise good tax compliance record on track,” he continued

“Revenue will adopt a pragmatic approach where businesses have been adversely impacted because of rising fuel costs.”

Twohig added that Revenue has a strong track record in agreeing flexible and appropriate payment arrangements where businesses are facing temporary cash flow difficulties.

“We will work with those affected by rising fuel and other costs to take their financial circumstances and capacity to pay into account,” he said.

Twohig encouraged affected taxpayers to continue to send in their tax returns on time and to engage with Revenue early if they are facing or run into difficulty in paying their tax.

Rather than hope that such payment difficulties will resolve in time, my advice to taxpayers adversely impacted by rising fuel and other costs is to proactively engage with Revenue to agree mutually suitable arrangements,” he advised.
