Facing a Revenue audit? We help businesses prepare for the audit, deal with Revenue and understand their tax position throughout the process.
RICHARD OSHEA CONSULTANCY
Be Prepared for a Revenue Audit
Receiving a Revenue audit notice can be stressful, especially when you’re unsure what Revenue will review or what information you need to provide.
A Revenue audit compares your tax returns with your books, records and other relevant information. It can cover Corporation Tax, Income Tax, VAT, PAYE, RCT and other taxes.
We help you prepare before the audit, communicate with Revenue and deal with any issues that arise during the process.
UNDERSTANDING REVENUE AUDITS
What Is a Revenue Audit?
A Revenue audit is a review of your tax affairs by the Irish Revenue Commissioners.
During an audit, Revenue may examine your tax returns, accounts, books and supporting records to check that your tax affairs are correct and compliant.
Revenue may select a taxpayer for audit through return screening, sector-focused projects or random selection. Being selected for an audit does not automatically mean that you have done anything wrong.

NEED TO KNOW
Frequently asked questions
Clear answers to common questions from business owners considering this service.
Revenue may select taxpayers through screening of tax returns and compliance history, sector-focused projects or random selection.
Being selected does not necessarily mean Revenue believes you have done anything wrong.
Revenue will normally explain the purpose and scope of the audit before examining your books, records and tax returns.
If Revenue identifies potential adjustments, these should be discussed with you before the audit is finalised.
Revenue generally gives 28 days' written notice before an audit. The notice should explain the date, the accounting period being audited and whether the audit covers one issue or several issues.
The records required depend on the audit and the taxes being reviewed.
Revenue may examine your accounts, tax returns, books and supporting financial records.
Yes. We can communicate with Revenue, help with information requests and support you throughout the audit.
Revenue may make adjustments to your tax position. Depending on the circumstances, additional tax, interest or penalties may arise.
We can help you understand the findings and discuss the appropriate next steps.
Potentially. Revenue allows qualifying disclosures in certain circumstances.
An unprompted qualifying disclosure can be made before a Revenue audit notification is issued, while a prompted qualifying disclosure may be possible after an audit notice but before the audit begins.
