Revenue Offers Support to Businesses Struggling With Rising Fuel and Other Costs

Revenue has confirmed it will work with businesses and individuals experiencing cash flow difficulties arising from the rise in fuel and other costs, urging those affected to engage early rather than wait for problems to worsen.

The Collector-General, James Twohig, made the announcement today, 10 April 2026, stating that Revenue will take a pragmatic approach where businesses have been adversely impacted.

James Twohig, Collector-General:

"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."

Mr Twohig also outlined the practical steps taxpayers should take:

"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.

I would strongly encourage affected taxpayers to take the following practical steps: continue to send in your tax returns on time, and engage early with us if you run into, or are facing, difficulty in paying your tax.

Rather than hope that such payment difficulties will resolve in time, my advice to taxpayers adversely impacted by rising fuel and other costs is to proactively engage with Revenue to agree mutually suitable arrangements."
