Free income tax return filing for clients

Paytube is a registered Revenue agent. We file income tax returns on your behalf at no extra cost while you are an active client — umbrella employee, umbrella director, or limited company.

Included in your plan

What Paytube files for you

Most contractors on Paytube do not need to find a separate accountant for year-end filing. As your registered agent, we prepare and submit income tax returns, claim qualifying credits and reliefs, respond to Revenue queries on authorised matters, and manage correspondence through ROS or myAccount.

We work to maximise your take-home pay throughout the contract — processing allowable expenses through payroll, optimising tax credits, and keeping records current — so filing season involves minimum admin for you.

  • Free for active clients — included on umbrella employee (€75/mo), umbrella director (€120/mo), and limited company (€150/mo) plans
  • Registered Revenue agent — formal agent authorisation through myAccount or ROS
  • Records already in our systems — for Paytube payroll clients, much of the data is already held
  • No commission on refunds — unlike predatory rebate firms that charge 20–40% of any repayment

Form 11 & PAYE reviews

Self-assessed returns, PAYE balancing claims, and multi-year credit reviews where you qualify.

Revenue correspondence

We handle agent queries and filings — you keep your own myAccount access and never share passwords.

Better take-home during the year

Good payroll and expense processing during the contract means less scrambling at year-end.

2026 obligations

Do you need to file?

Your filing obligation depends on how you are paid — not just your job title.

Umbrella employee or director

Tax is usually deducted through PAYE payroll. You may not need a separate Form 11 unless you have other income — rental, shares, foreign income, or sole trader profits.

Limited company

The company files corporation tax; you may need personal returns for salary, dividends, or director's loans. Paytube handles both layers for clients.

Key deadlines

31 October pay-and-file for the prior year; preliminary tax due in the current year. Missing deadlines triggers interest and can affect tax clearance.

What you still do

Provide accurate information, approve the return before submission, keep records for six years, and tell us about changes promptly.

Tax filing for non-members

You do not need to contract through Paytube to use our registered agent service. We also file for umbrella workers with other providers, full-time PAYE employees with additional income, and sole traders — from a minimum fixed charge of €99 + VAT per return.

We offer a free 30-minute, no-obligation consultation for all income tax filing enquiries. Book a call and we will confirm what applies to you before you commit.
