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 (maximum 60 months)
- 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.
