To benefit from the extended Pay and File deadline (typically mid-November) for your 2024 Income Tax Return, you must do both of the following:

  1. File your tax return online
    Submit your Form 11 (for self-employed or self-assessed individuals) or Form 12 (for certain PAYE taxpayers) via Revenue Online Service (ROS).
  2. Pay any tax due online
    You must also pay your Preliminary Tax for 2025 and the balance of tax due for 2024 through ROS by the extended deadline.

✅ Important:

  • Both the return and the payment must be completed online via ROS to qualify for the extension.
  • If either step is completed offline (e.g. paper filing or cheque payment), the standard deadline of 31 October 2025 will apply.
  • Make sure you’re registered for ROS in advance, as setting up your account can take time.
