PAYE/PRSI Returns

Since PAYE Modernisation, every Irish employer reports pay and deductions to Revenue in real time, a payroll submission for PAYE, PRSI and USC filed on or before each pay date. We prepare and file those returns accurately, every pay period, so your employer obligations are met without you having to track the detail. We handle PAYE/PRSI reporting for employers across the Midlands and the rest of Ireland.

Real-time reporting, done correctly

PAYE Modernisation replaced the annual P35 with a real-time system. Each time you pay staff, Revenue expects a submission showing what each employee earned and what was deducted. Get the timing or the figures wrong and it affects your employees’ tax records as well as your standing with Revenue.

For every pay run we make sure the reporting holds together:

• check and apply the correct RPN for each employee before pay is calculated
• report PAYE, PRSI and USC accurately on the payroll submission
• file the submission with Revenue on or before the pay date
• reconcile each submission against the underlying payroll
• handle starters, leavers and mid-year changes correctly

This work is the reporting layer that sits on top of running the payroll itself, the two go hand in hand, which is why most clients take our payroll services and PAYE/PRSI reporting together as a single, joined-up service.

Getting PAYE, PRSI and USC right

PAYE, PRSI and USC each have their own rules, and the rates, bands and thresholds are reviewed regularly, so the current figures should always be confirmed against Revenue guidance. Applying them correctly for each employee, full-time, part-time, director or new starter, is where accuracy matters most. We keep on top of the rules so your deductions are right and your staff are taxed correctly.

Employer PRSI is a real cost of employment, and the way benefits, expenses and pensions are handled all feed into the calculation. We make sure these are reported properly and flag anything that affects your overall employment costs.

Paying Revenue on time

The submissions you file build into a monthly (or, for some employers, quarterly) statement from Revenue showing what you owe. Paying that liability on time avoids interest and keeps your tax record clean. We tell you exactly what is due and when, so the payment is never a surprise and never late. Keeping the books and the payroll under one roof, alongside your other compliance taxation, means the figures reconcile and your whole Revenue position stays in order.

Clean records, clean year-end

There is no longer a big year-end return to dread, but only if the submissions through the year are right. Each employee’s Employment Detail Summary is built directly from what you filed, so accuracy across the year is what makes the year-end clean. We reconcile as we go, so December holds no surprises.

If your payroll reporting has drifted out of line, we can review it, correct it and bring you back on track with Revenue. Whether you are close to our Athlone office or anywhere in Ireland, we will keep your PAYE/PRSI reporting accurate and on time.
