The Finance Act 2022 introduced Section 897C which will require employers to report details of certain expenses and benefits made to employees and directors. Reporting the details of these expenses and benefits will commence on 01 January 2024.
For further information on these expenses and benefits, please see ‘What information do you need to report’. You must submit details of these expenses and benefits using Revenue Online Service (ROS). This submission must be made by you on, or before, the payment date to the employee.

Phase 1 will apply to any payments you make to an employee or director under the following categories:

Remote working daily allowance
When you are paying a Remote Working daily allowance, you must report the:

Submitting payment details to Revenue
Revenue Online Service (ROS) will provide a means of manually submitting Enhanced Reporting Requirements (ERR) details. This facility will be similar to that currently used for payroll reporting.
There has been ongoing engagement with stakeholders on the implementation of these requirements, which will continue throughout the year. This began in January 2023, with Revenue contacting all stakeholders seeking their engagement to implement this reporting requirement.

You will be able to submit payment details through Revenue Online Service (ROS) from December 2023.
