Revenue will want confirmation of your financial position - budget information and cashflow forecasts in order to agree staged payments.
Interest will be charged on late payment.
Ask your accountant to approach the Revenue for you.

I have asked him and he is of no help so going to go to them ourselves and see what happnes going to offer an up front poayment that we have in saving's and see what they say.
