Revenue - Public service changes to admin of Flat rate expenses/AVC etc

[ACER10]

Will keep simple as not sure of all the details.
I do not have AVC's but noticed that for 2025, I have a credit for AVC's.
Also flat rate expenses used to be semi automatic, but now need to be applied for..
.... No harm to check.

Were you making AVCs before now?

May explain this so?

Flat rate expenses

I’ve received my tax certificate for 2025. Flat rate expenses were also included in this for previous years for me as I added it years back but for next year it’s not on it . Can anyone shed helpful information to why this is ?

Definitely - always a good idea to check one's tax credits on Revenue myAccount and make any adjustments if needed.

*Payroll Pat* on Facebook is great for giving folks heads up. Before this, once you sorted your flat rate expenses, they would automatically appear. From 2025, they have made changes.

Weirdly.. can't find the Statement on there now. I did send a 'my enquiries so maybe they are fixing it.

My wife has had both her flat rate expenses for a HSE role and the tax relief for her income protection insurance wiped off this year's tax cert. So she will have to reapply for both of these this year.

They seem to be removing all the flat rate expense credits and people have to re-add them themselves, first year I've had to do this, though I have to add back the health insurance credit every year unfortunately.
