What is the Revenue Commissioners?

The Revenue Commissioners (in Irish, Na Coimisinéirí Ioncaim) is the official government agency of Ireland responsible for managing, collecting, and administering taxes and duties. Established in 1923, its primary mission is to fairly and efficiently collect the revenue that funds public services and to implement and enforce customs controls.

Revenue plays a critical role in the Irish economy, ensuring compliance with tax laws and regulations across various areas, including:

  • Income Tax: The tax on earnings for employees and self-employed individuals.
  • Corporation Tax: The tax on profits for companies.
  • VAT (Value-Added Tax): A tax on the sale of most goods and services in the European Union.
  • Customs & Excise: Taxes on imported goods and certain products like alcohol and tobacco.
  • Capital Gains Tax & Inheritance Tax: Taxes on profits from selling assets and on gifts or inheritances.

Na Coimisinéirí Ioncaim: The Irish Name

In line with the Official Languages Act 2003, the Revenue Commissioners is also known by its official Irish name, Na Coimisinéirí Ioncaim. The agency is committed to providing services in both Irish and English, with a wide range of information, forms, and services available in both languages on their official website. This commitment ensures accessibility and promotes the use of the Irish language in official matters.
