Director's Tax Return is the annual Self-assessment Income Tax Return (Form 11) which needs to be submitted to Revenue each year by the 31st October.
Company directors are subject to self-assessment regardless of whether they have other income or not. Directors with no income are still required to complete a Form 11.
Company Directors are typically registered for Income tax as as part of the company Tax Registration. However, if you have not received your Income tax registration yet, you should register before 31 October following the year when your company was registered.
Newly registering or re-registering income tax payers are required to pay and file Form 11 electronically, on the Revenue Online Service (ROS).
To access your Form 11 in ROS, you must be registered for ROS first.
Form 11 involves disclosure of income and tax calculation under the following tax heads: Income tax, Universal Social Charge (USC) and PRSI.
Company Director is entitled to a range of tax credits and reliefs. We process the following reliefs as part of the director's tax return: Personal credit, Earned credit or PAYE credit, Flat rate expenses credit, Medical expenses relief, tuition fees relief, Pension relief.
We provide clients with a draft Income Tax return for their review to ensure all income is declared and all tax reliefs have been claimed. Subject to client's approval, we submit Form 11 to Revenue electronically via ROS.
Following a submission of Form 11, Revenue issue a letter formerly known as Notice of Assessment. We review the assessment enclosed in the letter to ensure the tax has been assessed correctly.
If additional tax is payable as a result of income declared in the tax return, we will process the payment via ROS Single Debit Instruction as instructed by client. If a refund is due, we will arrange it to be re-paid by Revenue.
