1. Why not just use ROS?
Paylesstax.ie takes the pain out of completing your tax return Ireland. We guide you to the relevant sections for you, and provide advice along the way – acting as your virtual accountant. This is not the function of ROS. Using ROS directly, you will need to navigate your way around a lot of information that is irrelevant to you, make sense of the questions being asked and how they apply to your situation. A laborious task and you could miss potential entitlements and ways to reduce your tax liability.
Ros does not give you tax advice as its not their job – we do.
2. How does it work?
Paylesstax.ie guides you through your tax return Ireland step by step. By asking questions at the start, it can navigate you to the parts of the return that are relevant to you. As you are in each section it is reviewing the information you have entered and offers help relevant to where you are in the section. It is also calculating optimal scenarios for you – maximum pension contributions and so on.
3. What do I get?
Our systems produce your completed tax return Ireland form for you. We also show your tax position for the year and tell you what tax payments you have to make.
You have the option of a tax return Ireland Form 12 & Med 1 claim form , Form 11 or a Revenue Ros electronic file.
If you opt for our Check & File service we will send your completed tax return form to the Revenue for you.
Our ‘Tax & Accounts’ plan provides your completed vat returns, management accounts and your final tax accounts as well as your tax return Ireland form.
There is a great dashboard at the heart of the system with income reporting features incorporated into it. In addition you get full access to our tax library which contains numerous tax saving tips and support from our qualified tax consultants.
4. Can PLT replace my accountant?
Yes. PLT offers a real alternative to an accountant. You get the advice you require and the tools to feel confident to complete your own return. If you sign up for Plan 3 – 'Tax & Accounts' you also get access to PLT VAT Manager and PLT accounts offering a complete solution for a small business.
