Personal Tax
Navigating Ireland’s personal tax system can be complex, especially as your income, assets, or financial circumstances evolve. At JP Egan & Company, we provide clear, expert guidance to help individuals, families, and self-employed professionals manage their personal tax affairs with confidence — while maximising reliefs, allowances, and savings opportunities.
Whether you're filing a straightforward income tax return or dealing with more complex issues like capital gains, inheritance, or investment income, our experienced team is here to make the process smooth and stress-free. We offer strategic tax planning, timely return preparation, and comprehensive compliance support — all tailored to your unique situation.
We believe tax services shouldn’t be impersonal. That’s why we take the time to understand your financial goals, explain your tax position in plain English, and work with you proactively throughout the year — not just at tax time.
Let JP Egan & Company help you reduce your liabilities, avoid common pitfalls, and stay on top of your personal tax responsibilities.
Things to Know or Watch Out For with Personal Tax
- Not All Income is Taxed the Same Way
Different income types — PAYE, self-employment, rental, dividends — have different tax treatments. We help ensure all income is reported correctly. - Tax Credits and Reliefs Are Often Missed
From medical expenses and tuition fees to pension contributions and rent relief — many people overpay tax by not claiming their full entitlements. We make sure you don’t miss out. - Capital Gains Tax Can Catch You Off Guard
Selling property, shares, or other assets can trigger CGT. We help calculate your gain, apply exemptions, and file on time to avoid penalties. - Deadlines Matter
The self-assessment tax deadline is 31 October (or mid-November for ROS users). Late filings can lead to surcharges — we ensure you never miss a due date.
- Inheritance Tax Requires Forward Planning
CAT (Capital Acquisitions Tax) applies to gifts and inheritances. Planning in advance can significantly reduce or even eliminate tax liabilities. - Revenue Audits Are Increasingly Data-Driven
Inconsistencies or unusual activity can trigger Revenue audits. We ensure your returns are accurate and your records are audit-ready. - Foreign Income Must Be Declared
Income from abroad (including pensions or rental income) must be disclosed to Revenue. We help manage cross-border tax obligations. - Changing Life Events Can Impact Your Tax
Marriage, children, property purchases, and retirement — all of these affect your tax profile. We help you adapt and take advantage of new entitlements.
