Commenting, Twohig, said: “Rising fuel and other costs have affected businesses in a variety 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. Revenue will adopt a pragmatic approach where businesses have been adversely impacted because of rising fuel costs.
“Revenue has a strong track record in successfully agreeing flexible and appropriate payment arrangements where businesses are facing temporary cash flow difficulties, and we will work with those affected by rising fuel and other costs to take their financial circumstances and capacity to pay into account.”
Practical steps

- Continue to send in your tax returns on time
- Engage early with Revenue if you run into, or are facing, difficulty in paying your tax
