Revenue’s Next Generation Applications
Next Generation Applications Revenue’s new suite of next generation desktop-based applications. There are applications available for both PAYE and ROS customers and they are designed to make the process of interacting with Revenue even quicker and easier than ever before. These applications are available from Revenue’s website at http://www.ros.ie/AIR/RevenueDesktop.html
ROS Desktop Offline Apps For ROS customers there are two new applications available for filing regular P30 and VAT3 returns. These apps are reminder-based, and pop up when returns are due to be submitted, removing the worry of missing a filing date. The app gets as much data as it can directly from ROS, leaving only a few amounts to be filled in. As far as you the customer is concerned, the transaction is done directly from the desktop without the need to even visit a website. The submission uses the same secure process that is used by ROS.
PAYE Health Expenses Offline App For PAYE customers, there is a new desktop-based Health Expenses Tracker. This new app, based on Revenue’s popular new iPhone app, allows you to record your health expenses as they are incurred keeping a running total for the year to date. Any refunds from private health insurance can be set off against the relevant expense. At the end the year you can then submit your net expenses directly from the app through Revenue’s PAYE Anytime system. In addition to the current year, details for the previous four years can be tracked and claimed.

Revenue’s Next Generation Applications
The Health Expenses (PAYE) mobile application allows you to record health expenses for a year in a diary-like manner on your mobile phone, typically as the events occur. Records are organised into medical, dental and nursing home categories for each year. If you are registered for PAYE Anytime you can subsequently send your claim via your phone to Revenue. Claims for back years are also accommodated. The application is free to download and free to use (standard network charges may apply). It is available for Apple iPhone, Windows Mobile, and Java Mobile (J2ME) devices, with the Android platform under consideration.
