Why Our Tax Return Services Work for You
Filing a tax return shouldn't mean spending your evenings buried in receipts and Revenue forms. We take that burden off your plate.
Never Miss a Deadline
The 31 October deadline (or 19 November for ROS filers) comes around fast. We track every date so you're never hit with late filing surcharges.
Maximise Your Refund
From medical expenses to remote working relief, we identify every tax credit and deduction you qualify for. Most clients are surprised by what they've been missing.
Full Revenue Compliance
Self-assessment has specific rules. We ensure your Form 11 is accurate, properly calculated, and submitted correctly to avoid queries from Revenue.
Capital Gains Sorted
Sold shares, crypto, or property? CGT can get complicated quickly. We calculate your liability correctly and apply available exemptions.
Four Years of Claims
Under the four-year rule, you can claim refunds going back four years. We review your history and recover what you're owed.
One Point of Contact
No call centres, no automated responses. Your dedicated accountant knows your situation and responds within 24 hours.
Your Tax Return, Handled Properly
No more guessing whether you've filled in the right boxes or claimed the correct reliefs. We review your income sources, expenses, and entitlements thoroughly. Then we prepare and file your return through ROS, ensuring you meet the extended deadline and everything is documented correctly.
You get a clear breakdown of your tax position before we submit anything. No surprises. No panic calls from Revenue months later.
Self-Assessment Made Simple
Self-assessment applies to the self-employed, company directors, landlords, and anyone with non-PAYE income above certain thresholds. If you earn rental income, have investment gains, or run a business alongside employment, you likely need to file a Form 11.
The self-assessment system requires you to calculate your own liability and pay preliminary tax for the following year. Get it wrong and you're looking at interest charges and surcharges. We handle the calculations, prepare the return, and advise on your preliminary tax obligations so you're not caught short.
Whether you're new to self-assessment or have years of unfiled returns that need sorting, we can help. Historical filings within the four-year window? We'll get those submitted too.
More Time for Your Business
Business owners tell us tax returns were eating up entire weekends. Time spent searching for receipts, trying to understand Revenue guidance, second-guessing every entry. That's time you could spend with clients, developing products, or simply not working.
Hand it to someone who does this every day. Your books stay with your bookkeeper; your tax return comes to us.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions? Here's what clients typically ask.
How much does a tax return accountant charge in Ireland?
Fees vary based on complexity. A straightforward Form 11 for a single income source costs less than returns involving rental properties, share disposals, and foreign income. We provide fixed-fee quotes upfront so you know exactly what you're paying before we start. No hidden charges, no hourly billing that spirals.
What's the difference between an accountant and a tax accountant?
All accountants can prepare accounts, but tax specialists focus specifically on tax compliance and planning. We're Chartered and Certified accountants with specific expertise in Irish tax legislation, which means we know the reliefs, the deadlines, and the common pitfalls that catch people out.
What is the four-year rule in Ireland?
You can claim tax refunds for the previous four tax years only. This is a strict statutory limit set by Revenue. For example, in 2025 you can still claim for 2021, but once 31 December 2025 passes, that year is gone forever. If you haven't reviewed your past returns, now is the time.
When is the tax return deadline in Ireland?
For the 2024 tax year, the paper filing deadline is 31 October 2025. If you file and pay through ROS (Revenue Online Service), you get an extension to 19 November 2025. Miss these dates and you're looking at a 5% surcharge if filed within two months, rising to 10% after that.
Can you help with returns I haven't filed for previous years?
Yes. We regularly help clients catch up on unfiled returns. Revenue can pursue you for outstanding returns, and the penalties accumulate. Getting compliant protects you from enforcement action and often uncovers refunds you didn't know you were owed. We'll assess your situation, file what's needed within the four-year window, and get you back on track.
Still have questions about your tax situation?
Your tax compliance isn't something to leave to chance. Neither is your refund.
