Revenue Interventions
Receiving a letter from Revenue can cause stress and uncertainty — but you don’t have to face it alone. At JP Egan & Company, we provide comprehensive support for businesses and individuals undergoing Revenue Interventions of any kind, from audits and compliance checks to formal investigations and appeals.
Revenue interventions in Ireland have become increasingly data-driven, and they can arise for many reasons — discrepancies in returns, random selection, or industry-wide reviews. Our experienced team understands how Revenue operates and will guide you through every stage of the process with professionalism, clarity, and discretion.
We act quickly and decisively to protect your position. Whether you're being asked for records, undergoing a full Revenue audit, or disputing a decision, we represent your interests and work to achieve the best possible outcome — reducing penalties, resolving tax debt, and helping you move forward with confidence.
Our role doesn’t end once the issue is resolved. We offer proactive advice to minimise future risks, improve internal compliance, and help your business avoid further interventions.
When you partner with JP Egan & Company, you gain access to a responsive, experienced team that will support you before, during, and after Revenue contact.
Things to Know or Watch Out For with Revenue Interventions
Revenue Can Open an Intervention at Any Time
Revenue interventions are not always triggered by wrongdoing — sometimes they’re random or sector-specific. Being prepared is key.
You Have the Right to Professional Representation
During any audit, review, or investigation, you are entitled to appoint a tax agent. We handle all communications and negotiations on your behalf.
Failure to Cooperate Can Lead to Escalation
Ignoring requests or failing to respond promptly can result in penalties, increased scrutiny, or even criminal investigation. We ensure timely and appropriate responses.
Records Must Be Retained for Six Years
Revenue has the right to examine records going back six years — sometimes more. We help ensure your books are complete and ready for inspection.
- Compliance Reviews Often Lead to Full Audits
A routine review can escalate if issues are uncovered. We work to resolve any red flags quickly and discreetly before they become larger problems. - You Can Appeal a Revenue Decision
If you disagree with an assessment or decision, you have a right to appeal. We guide you through the full appeals process, including submissions and hearings. - Tax Settlements Can Be Negotiated
If tax is owed, we can negotiate settlements or payment arrangements with Revenue to minimise the financial impact and avoid public listing. - Prevention Is Better Than Cure
Ongoing compliance reviews and proper tax planning significantly reduce the risk of intervention. We offer year-round support to keep you on track.
