Frequently Asked Questions

1 – Can Paylesstax replace my traditional accountant?

Yes. Paylesstax offers a real alternative at remarkable prices that cannot be matched by traditional accountants. We offer a new online system for completing Irish tax returns and accounts. You get the advice you require and the tools to feel confident to complete your own return with the benefit of our tax guarantee for peace of mind.

 

2 – Why not just use ROS?

Paylesstax.ie takes the pain out of completing your tax return. We guide you all the way through the completion of your Irish tax return. With our smart software you only complete the sections that are relevant for you.

Using ROS directly, you will need to navigate your way around a lot of information that is irrelevant to you, make sense of the questions being asked and how they apply to your situation. A laborious task and you could miss potential entitlements and ways to reduce your tax liability.

Ros does not give you tax advice as its not their job – we do through our associated company C. Maxwell & Associates Ltd.
