Form 11 Tax Return Questions
Answers to common questions about preparing and filing an Irish self-assessment tax return.
What is a Form 11 tax return?
Form 11 is the annual Income Tax return generally used by individuals within Ireland’s self-assessment system. It reports taxable income, allowable expenses, tax credits, reliefs, gains and other relevant financial information to Revenue.
Who normally needs to file a Form 11?
A Form 11 may be required for sole traders, landlords, proprietary directors, investors, subcontractors and individuals with significant income that has not been fully taxed through PAYE. The correct filing requirement depends on your circumstances.
How much does a Form 11 tax return cost?
Our standard Form 11 service starts from €249 plus VAT. The final fee depends on the number and complexity of your income sources, the quality of the records provided and whether additional calculations or schedules are required.
Can you prepare a tax return with rental income?
Yes. We can prepare Form 11 returns that include Irish rental income. We will normally require details of rent received, mortgage interest where relevant, repairs, insurance, management fees and other property expenses.
Can you prepare a tax return with foreign income?
Yes, subject to reviewing the type of foreign income, the relevant country and the supporting documentation. Foreign income can require additional analysis, including consideration of double taxation relief.
Do I legally need an accountant to file a Form 11?
No. You can prepare and file your own tax return. However, an accountant can help ensure the return is prepared accurately, relevant deductions are considered and your filing obligations are understood.
What happens after my tax return is prepared?
We provide the calculation and return for your review, explain the estimated liability or refund position and request your approval. After approval, we file the return electronically and explain the next payment steps where relevant.
Can you help if my tax return is overdue?
Yes. Contact us as soon as possible with details of the outstanding years. We can review the position, identify the information required and help bring the filings up to date.
