KEY POINTS
•   As at January 2021, there were approximately 70,000 businesses availing of debt warehousing covering €1.9
    billion in tax debt.

•   The Debt Warehousing Scheme (“the scheme”) allows businesses to defer PAYE (Employer) and VAT debts
    relating to the C-19 crisis. However, even if tax can’t be paid, all tax returns must be filed on time.

•   PAYE (Employer) liabilities include Income Tax, Universal Social Charge, employees and employers PRSI and
    Local Property Tax due to be remitted by employers under the PAYE system.

•   Self-Employed (assessed) individual's can warehouse Income Tax amounts.

•   Temporary Wage Subsidy Scheme (“TWSS”) overpayments are now also covered by the scheme.

•   The scheme includes no provision for tax debt write off.

•   Revenue Information is regularly updated – the current Booklet is dated 19 January 2021 “Warehousing of
    Tax Debts Associated with COVID-19” .

SCHEME DETAILS – WHO QUALIFIES?
Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs)

•   SMEs dealt with by the Revenue’s Personal & Business Division can have VAT & PAYE (Employer) debts from C-
    19 restricted trading periods warehoused.

•   For tax purposes, a SME is a business with a turnover of less than €3 million which is not dealt with by
    Revenue’s Large Corporates Division (LCD) or Medium Enterprise Division (MED).

•   SME’s automatically qualify for the scheme and they do not have to apply – Revenue automatically
    warehouse the debt.

•   The taxpayer should receive confirmation of which tax liabilities are covered by the scheme from Revenue via
    ROS or My Account (such letters were originally to issue by Revenue in mid October).

SCHEME DETAILS – WHO QUALIFIES?
Large Corporates Division (LCD) and Medium Enterprise Division (MED)

•   If you are dealt with by either the LCD or MED Revenue divisions, you have to apply for the debt to be
    warehoused.

•   These businesses must be unable to pay VAT, PAYE (Employer) and TWSS liabilities and should be able to
    demonstrate their financial difficulties to Revenue.

•   Revenue will be entitled to make enquiries to satisfy itself that the business is unable to pay or repay any
    liabilities.

•   There is a template to be completed – you then liaise with either your normal Revenue Branch or the
    Collector General’s Division.

SCHEME DETAILS – 3 Periods:
Period                                                                                               Interest
                                                                                                       Rate
Period 1   •   “Covid 19 Restricted Trading Period” by Reference to the Government                     0%
               Roadmap for Reopening Society and Business (the “Roadmap”).
           •   Restricted trading phase - the period during which the business was unable to
               trade or was trading at a significantly reduced level due to the C-19 restrictions.
           •   The earliest Period 1 commences is 1 January 2020 for VAT (VAT period
               January/February) and 1 February 2020 for PAYE (Employer)
           •   End date based on the end of the restricted trading phase + next full bi-
               monthly VAT period (for both PAYE and VAT liabilities).
Period 2   •   “Zero Interest Period”                                                                  0%
           •   End of period 1 for 12 months.
           •   May be extended by Ministerial Order but currently cannot be extended past
               December 2022.
Period 3   •   “Reduced Interest Period”                                                               3%
           •   Starts at end of period 2 & continues until debt is paid.
           •   The business must enter into a Phased Pay Arrangement with the Collector
               General.
                                                         13
SCHEME DETAILS
•   The default position for period 1 is to assume that the business resumed trading in line with the Roadmap. If
    a business recommenced at a later date, it must have proof of this.

•   All the tax returns must be filed on time. If the taxpayer is unable to complete a return (e.g. book keeper is
    ill), the business should submit returns based on best estimates. The correct return should be filed before the
    end of Period 1.

•   After the restricted trading period has ceased, all taxes that fall due for current periods during the
    warehousing arrangement must be maintained for the duration of the warehousing period and for any
    subsequent arrangement period to guarantee the reduced interest rates (0% and 3% (on the warehoused
    debts only)).

•   If the business cannot pay current taxes, they should contact Revenue asap – failure to engage with Revenue
    could result in the business being removed from the scheme.

                                                          14
SCHEME DETAILS
•   The reduced rates of interest only apply to warehoused debt. Otherwise normal interest rates apply (8% p.a.
    for direct taxes such as income tax and corporation tax and 10% for VAT and PAYE (employer).

•   Any additional liabilities which have been declared to Revenue, due to error or omission will not be entitled
    to debt warehousing – need to regularise matters.

•   Refunds/Repayments will automatically issue unless business requests the repayment to be offset against
    warehoused or other debts (may be attracting higher interest rates).

•   Revenue have stated that debt will not be subject to enforcement activity (at the end of Period 2) once there
    is engagement with Revenue.

•   Revenue have also stated that the timeframe to pay the warehoused debt will be flexible and determined by
    the ability of the business to pay both C-19 related debts as well as meeting its on-going tax liabilities.

                                                         15
TAX CLEARANCE
•   Where a business has C-19 related tax debts which are warehoused or non C-19 related liabilities which are
    included in a Phased Payment Arrangement, the business will qualify for Tax Clearance, despite outstanding
    debts.

•   This means that such businesses can qualify for:

          - EWSS
          - CRSS
          - Stay & Spend scheme as a service provider

EXAMPLES
Example - VAT and PAYE (Employer) warehousing – multiple closures

Sue is a sole trader and runs a bar/restaurant in Offaly. Sue submits bi-monthly VAT returns, and monthly PAYE
(Employer). The bar closed on 15 March 2020 and re-opened under the Government Roadmap on 29 June. The
business traded throughout July but was subject to localised lockdown on 7 August. The business resumed to
trade again on 22 August when restrictions were lifted. However, national Level 3 restrictions were implemented
at midnight on 6 October, and Sue had to once again close her business.

Periods warehoused as of 29 June 2020

Originally the business re-opened on 29 June so PAYE (Employer) returns from February to June (end of VAT bi-
monthly period) plus 2 months had been warehoused, along with VAT returns from Jan to June (end of bi-
monthly period) plus an additional 2 months i.e.,

• PAYE (Employer): February, March, April, May, June, July and August 2020
• VAT: Jan/Feb, Mar/Apr, May/June, and Jul/Aug 2020

                                                        21
EXAMPLES
Example , cont.

What happened when restrictions were re-imposed locally in August 2020?

However, when the local Level 3 restrictions forced the business to close again in August, her resumption date
moved to the ending of localised restrictions which was also in August 2020.
This allowed Sue to warehouse the additional returns;
• PAYE (Employer): September and October 2020
• VAT: Sept/Oct 2020

What happened when restrictions were imposed for a third time in October?

The raising of restriction levels to Level 5 has resulted in even further returns being available for warehousing. As
Level 5 was due to end in December 2020, Sue can warehouse up to the end of the bi-monthly VAT period plus 2
months i.e., February 2021. Sue can therefore warehouse the additional returns:
• PAYE (Employer): September, October, November and December 2020, January and February 2021
• VAT: Sept/Oct 2020, Nov/Dec 2020 and Jan/Feb 2021

                                                           22
EXAMPLES
Example , cont.

What happened when restrictions were imposed again in December?

The ending of the national Level 5 restrictions will determine what further returns Sue will be able to warehouse.
Where those restrictions end in January 2021, Sue will be able to warehouse additional returns due up to
February 2021 plus 2 months which includes;

• PAYE (Employer) Returns: September, October, November and December 2020, January, February, March and
  April 2021

• VAT Returns: Sept/Oct 2020, Nov/Dec 2020, Jan/Feb and Mar/Apr 2021

INCOME TAX DEBT WAREHOUSING
•   Applies to the following:

     •   Balance of Income Tax 2019
     •   Preliminary Tax 2020
     •   Balance of Income Tax 2020
     •   Preliminary Tax 2021

•   When filing their 2019 Income Tax Return, a declaration had to be made by the taxpayer that their total
    income for 2020 would be will less than 75% of their total income for 2019, as a result of C-19 restrictions.

•   It was not possible to avail of debt warehousing in respect of the 2019 income tax balance where the
    taxpayer has failed to meet preliminary tax requirements for 2019.

•   When the taxpayer files their 2020 Income Tax Return, if it transpires that the taxpayer did not suffer a 25%
    reduction in income, the debt will be removed from the debt warehousing scheme and full statutory interest
    will apply (from 1 November 2020).

SECTION 997A, TCA 1997

•   S997A – provides that a proprietary director (or a connected person) is not entitled to a credit for payroll
    taxes deducted from emoluments if the payroll taxes have not been paid by the employer company.

•   If the payroll taxes have been warehoused – then the payroll taxes are not regarded as paid.

“Section 997A(3) TCA is not being disapplied, which means that if the tax on the director’s salary has not been
paid under PAYE because it has been warehoused, the director cannot take credit for it. The tax is not considered
to be remitted when warehoused for the purpose of section 997A (4) TCA.”

INCOME TAX DEBT WAREHOUSING
Options

•   If company making payments against the warehoused debt – request it be offset against payroll taxes.

•   S1080B (Income Tax Warehousing) – may be possible, when filing the 2020 income tax return, to warehouse
    the balance of tax due (including tax due on emoluments) for 2020 balance of tax and 2021 PT.

Watch:

➢ If companies are insolvent and are wound up (whether voluntarily or involuntarily), then the proprietary
  directed (or connected person) will have to pay the income tax/USC and PRSI on the emoluments if the
  payroll taxes have not been paid by the employer company.

➢ Payment of payroll taxes by employer company will be offset, in the first instance, against payroll taxes
  deducted from persons not caught by S997A.

INCOME TAX DEBT WAREHOUSING
Example – Income Tax and Preliminary Tax warehousing

John was due to file his Income Tax return for 2019 and Preliminary Tax 2020 on 31st October 2020. John’s agent
normally pays and files John’s return on-line, and so John had an extension date for filing and paying his IT
returns of 10th December 2020. The loss of income resulting from the closures in 2020 meant that he was unable
to pay his liabilities. John paid 100% of his 2018 Income Tax liability in preliminary tax, however 2019 was a good
year and so his balancing payment was quite large. John’s income for 2020 was about 60% of his 2019 income.

John was required to declare that his income in 2020 was 25% less than the income earned in 2019, when
submitting his 2019 Income Tax return and 2020 preliminary tax declaration. As John met his preliminary tax
requirements for 2019, he was entitled to warehouse the balance of his 2019 Income Tax return and his
preliminary tax due for 2020.

Income Tax warehouse periods as of 10 December 2020
• IT Period 1: Initial warehouse period will end on the filing date 10/12/2020
• IT Period 2: 11/12/2020 to 10/12/2021 0% interest
• IT Period 3: 11/12/2021 until warehoused debt is fully paid 3%.

                                                          28
INCOME TAX DEBT WAREHOUSING
Example – Income Tax Warehousing - 2019 liability under-estimated

When Angela completed her 2019 Income Tax return, she realised she had underestimated her liability for the
year, and so had underpaid her 2019 preliminary tax in October 2019. Business has been badly affected by the
restrictions in 2020, and costs increased significantly in trying to keep the business ‘COVID-19 compliant’. As a
result, Angela found her income was over 25% down on 2019. Angela submits paper-based tax returns as she is
not an e-enabled customer.

When making her Income Tax 2019 return and preliminary tax declaration for 2020, Angela declared that her
2020 income reduced by more than 25% on 2019 income. As Angela did not meet her Preliminary tax
requirements for 2019, she was unable to warehouse her outstanding balance on the 2019 Income Tax return.
However, her preliminary tax for 2020 can be warehoused. As Angela submits paper-based returns, the relevant
dates for warehousing of her Income Tax liabilities are:

• IT Period 1: Initial warehouse period will end on the filing date - 31/10/2020
• IT Period 2: 01/11/2020 to 31/10/2021 0% interest
• IT Period 3: 01/11/2021 until warehoused debt is fully paid 3%.

                                                         29
TWSS DEBT WAREHOUSING
• Warehousing of excess TWSS payments received by employers.

• Businesses will be notified of any outstanding TWSS liabilities due to overpayments by way of a
  Statement of Account (Employer) which will be sent to their ROS inbox.

• Warehousing of the TWSS liabilities will mirror the VAT and PAYE (Employer) warehousing periods.

• SME’s dealt with in Revenue’s Personal Division/Business Division automatically qualify for debt
  warehousing. LCD and MED clients have to apply to Revenue for the warehousing.

• Tax clearance not affected by warehoused debt.

                                                 30
UPDATE JANUARY 2021
• Revenue have confirmed that the Debt Warehousing Scheme remains available to
  support businesses experiencing tax payment difficulties arising from the current Level
  5 Restrictions (13 January 2021).

                                                  31
KEY POINTS:
• Continue to file all Tax Returns in a timely manner.

• At the end of Period 2, the taxpayer needs to engage with Revenue and agree a Phased
  Payment Arrangement.

• Engagement with Revenue is key – if a taxpayer cannot meet their current tax
  liabilities, warehoused debts could be removed from the scheme where the taxpayer
  does not engage with Revenue.

                                                   32

CASHFLOW MANAGEMENT

           Critical to have a clear understanding of essential cash requirements over
           minimum 3-6 month time horizon

                    When availing of debt warehousing essential to plan ahead on funding of the
                    repayment

                          Cashflow management principals:
                          - Accurate management information
                          - Establish who needs to be paid and when
                          - Determine critical cash pinch points

                                                                                                  34
MANAGEMENT OF PAYMENTS TO REVENUE

             Making payments on account to Revenue - check which
             liabilities being allocated against regular review of ROS inbox to
             ensure all correspondence is captured

                    Mindful of interest charges on pre COVID-19 Revenue liabilities
                    10% vs 3%

                          Part payment against Warehoused amounts – consider
                          allocating to PAYE in first instance

                                 Ongoing regular engagement with Revenue is essential

                                                                                        35
CASHFLOW PROJECTIONS PREPARATION

             Prepare updated rolling cashflows – recovery timelines and
             assumptions are constantly changing

                   Implications when the government supports reduce down or
                   fall away

                         Assess funding options
                         - Avail of lender moratoriums
                         - Negotiate phased payment arrangements
                          - Is new debt required to assist working capital

                                Always remember - “CASH IS KING”

                                                                              36
