The due date for filing and paying the annual P35 Return, RCT 35 Return and F35 Return is the 15th of February 2012. Those who wish to file and pay their returns online using Revenue Online Service (ROS), the deadline is extended to 23rd February 2012.
The P35 Return shows all PAYE and PRSI employee & employer deductions for the relevant tax year it is normally accompanied by the P35L which details the deductions for each specific employee
Employers are strongly reminded of the importance of the correct recording of PPS numbers for each employee on their returns. This is so the Revenue and Department of Social Protection can ensure that all employee details are stored correctly on their system. The PPS numbers to be included in the P35 should correspond to the most recent Tax credit cert which would have been issued to you by the Revenue.
The RCT35 Return is to be filed by Principal Contractors who subcontract work in the construction, meat processing and forestry industries. It is a two part form consisting of an annual declaration of gross payments and tax deducted (RCT35), together with a listing of all subcontractors to whom payments were made whether tax was deducted or not. The 2011 RCT35 is the final return of this type to be filed as from 2012 onwards such contracts are recorded online through ROS.
The F35 Return is the annual return made by an accountable person declaring their PSWT liability for the tax year. It is accompanied by a schedule giving details of the total relevant payments made to, and the total PSWT deducted from, each specified person in the tax year.
