Form 11 Filing Service
Income Tax Returns for Chargeable Persons
Form 11 is the annual income tax return used under Ireland’s self-assessment system by individuals classed as “chargeable persons” by Revenue. It is required where an individual has self-employed income, rental income, directorship income, foreign income, or other non-PAYE income above Revenue thresholds.
Not all personal taxpayers are required to file Form 11. PAYE-only individuals with straightforward tax affairs generally file Form 12 or may not be required to submit an annual return at all. Our Form 11 Filing Service is designed specifically for individuals who are required to meet self-assessment obligations.
At Shelbourne Accountants, we prepare and file Form 11 income tax returns accurately and efficiently as part of our wider Personal Tax Returns services, ensuring compliance, clarity and peace of mind.
What Is Form 11?
Form 11 is the Irish Revenue self-assessment income tax return used by chargeable persons to declare all taxable income for a given tax year. It brings together multiple tax obligations in a single return, including:
- Income tax on employment, self-employment and other income
- Universal Social Charge (USC)
- Pay Related Social Insurance (PRSI)
- Preliminary tax for the following tax year
Form 11 Income Tax Return
Form 11 must be filed annually through Revenue Online Service (ROS) and requires accurate reporting of income, expenses, reliefs and credits. Errors or omissions can result in underpayments, interest or penalties, making professional support valuable for many taxpayers.
