Understanding Revenue Payroll Notifications – RPN in Ireland

Image
  Revenue Payroll Notifications (RPN) are crucial for both employers and employees in Ireland’s payroll system. This blog will delve into various aspects of RPN, addressing common questions and misconceptions. Why is there no RPN for Employees? Revenue Payroll Notifications (RPN) are not directly provided to employees but are instead furnished to employers. The reason behind this is that the RPN contains detailed tax information that employers need to calculate the correct amount of tax to deduct from an employee’s pay. Employees do not need the RPN themselves as their primary concern is the net pay after deductions. However, they have access to similar information through their  payslips  and the Revenue’s online services. What is the RPN Tax? The RPN tax refers to the taxes calculated based on the details provided in the Revenue Payroll Notification. This document outlines how much tax should be deducted from an employee’s salary.

What Are The Differences Between Bookkeeping And Accounting?

Does your firm need accounting and bookkeeping services?

Accounting and Bookkeeping are two major financial functions that are extremely important for any business organization. In the simplest of simple terms, we can define bookkeeping as the recording of financial transactions whereas accounting gives you a clearer picture of interpreting, analysing, classifying, reporting and summarizing of financial data. For laymen bookkeeping and accounting can appear to be the same because both deal with the financial data with basic accounting knowledge, classify and generate reports using the financial transactions. At the same time, bookkeeping and accounting are inherently different and have their own set of characteristics and advantages.

Let’s understand the functional difference between bookkeeping and accounting.

Bookkeeping is the process of recording, storing, retrieving financial transactions of a small, medium or large company, non-profit organization, an individual person etc. Through bookkeeping the status of the company can be identified if it is generating profits or losses. But the complexity of bookkeeping depends on the number of transactions recorded daily, weekly and monthly along with the size of the business.

Bookkeeping is comprised of:

  • Recording of financial transactions
  • Producing invoices
  • Posting debits and credits
  • Completing payroll
  • Maintaining and balancing general ledgers, subsidiaries and accounts

Accounting is a much higher-level process that uses financial data that are compiled by bookkeepers to produce financial models. Accounting is more subjective, in-depth and largely transactional than bookkeeping.

Accounting is comprised of:

  • Reviewing company’s financial statements
  • Analysing costs of operations
  • Preparing adjusting entries
  • Completing income tax returns

Aiding the impact of financial decisionsAccounting and Bookkeeping are two vastly different financial functionalities despite the similarities and blurring of roles. Now that you understand both of these functionalities, it’s time to decide which one is right for your business and who can be really helpful for your business.

As legislation continues to become increasingly complex in Ireland, employers face severe challenges to remain up-to-date on employment legislation and payroll issues. Employers have to face heavy fines, penalties and interests if they do not ensure that their payroll is functioning efficiently and cost-effectively. There are certain statutory deductions in Ireland for payroll such as PRSI, PAYE and USC which now appears that employers will also be obliged to deduct the new property tax from the gross pay of their employees. These taxes are the single largest source of revenue for the government so it is necessary to administer the processing of payroll. Employment in Ireland is precise and detailed. In recent years many businesses from across the globe including many tech-based companies have established their base in Ireland due to a relatively low corporate tax rate of 12.5%.
