The maximum penalty is \u20ac3000 for failure to make return.\u00a0 Where an employer fails to comply with requirements, the employer may be subject to a penalty of up to \u20ac3,000.<\/p>\n
If the employer fails to deliver an annual statement of the LPT deducted he is liable for a penalty of \u20ac500 per month that the return remains outstanding up to a maximum of \u20ac3,000.\u00a0 The Secretary is potentially liable to a separate penalty of \u20ac2000 in the case of a body corporate.<\/p>\n
Both interest and surcharge may apply.\u00a0 The surcharge is up to a maximum of 100% liability.<\/p>\n
Where a taxpayer fails to make the return, he may be subject to a surcharge on his income for up to 10%.\u00a0 However, if this is less than the LPT, it is capped at the amount of the LPT concerned.\u00a0 Accordingly if 10% of his income is less than the LPT charged then he may be subject to a surcharge for the shortfall.<\/p>\n
There are provisiosn for \u00a0appeals against Revenue assessments. A person who is non-compliant in relation to the LPT requirements to deliver a return and pay LPT is liable to a surcharge of 10 percent of the amount of tax contained in an income tax or corporation tax assessment where the person is also chargeable to those taxes.<\/p>\n
Finance Act 2020 provides for \u2018debt warehousing\u2019 for income tax and universal social charge liabilities deducted by employers from their employees\u2019 salaries. The amendment includes LPT deducted from salaries in these \u2018debt warehousing\u2019 provisions.<\/p>\n
A liable person must be in compliance with his or her LPT obligations to obtain a tax clearance certificate. However, as the tax clearance provisions for certain public appointees are instead contained in the Standards in Public Office Act 2001, this Act is now being amended to include the requirement for LPT compliance.<\/p>\n\n
