Minister for Finance Michael Noonan has commented that –
“the option of bringing the annual Pay & File dates forward remains, in order to provide increased certainty around the annual tax take and forecasting process following the move to an earlier Budget Day. However, given the success of the forecasting process in relation to Budget 2014 and given the concerns expressed by many stakeholders at the potential disruption that could be caused by such a change, I am considering whether it may be feasible to leave the dates unchanged for 2015 also”.
