Many thanks LD F for advising us about this event.
I attended this Revenue information session today, in Dublin as a non over 65, but gleamed some great insights and fed back a few home truths in the Q&A.
I attended the CAT, LPT and making a Will sessions in the morning and the afternoon sessions on Income Tax, CGT and the State Pension, which had a full room of attendees.
When I get the information pack from Revenue I will post it here.
When my wife retired my simple joint assessment return has become exceedingly tedious to complete, along with medical receipts and Work From Home expenses in my case. It really is interesting that the tax return process for those with declining cognitive abilities and going from a single income to occupational pension, arf, part time work and any other income is actually more complicated to file each year.
I asked Revenue to apply a “Ladybird” approach to this.
One observation I made, the event was attended by mainly Irish nationals, either our fellow non-Irish citizens are very tax au fait and compliant or simply we are the stupid people trying to stay compliant with our tax obligations, to use a term indicated by Revenue presenters.
