Phased Payment Arrangements (PPAs)

How to apply for a Phased Payment Arrangement (PPA)

You can apply for a PPA through Revenue Online Service (ROS). Where an agent acts on your behalf in relation to your PPA, the agent will need to complete a declaration on ROS to access the arrangement.

To be able to apply for a PPA, you must:

• have a total debt outstanding (including interest and penalties) greater than €500
• have submitted all tax returns due to Revenue
• not have an existing PPA
• and
• agree to pay your current taxes, as they fall due.

During the application process, you will be asked to:

• select your repayment period
• select your down-payment amount
• provide your bank details
• and
• select your preferred repayment date.

Completion of the Electronic Phased Payment Application Form (ePPA1) is a requirement for all taxpayers (all sections must be completed by taxpayers). You may also be asked to submit additional information or documentation such as:

• bank statements
• six-month cash-flow projections
• and
• management accounts.

All requests for a PPA are reviewed by Revenue. You will receive a response to your application within ten days. Where Revenue request further information, you will receive a notification through ROS. If you do not respond in the timeframe specified, your application will be automatically cancelled.
