Passage: PAYE Modernisation, introduced in 2019, represents the most significant reform of the Irish PAYE system since 1960. It requires employers to report pay, tax, and other deductions to Revenue in real time, every time an employee is paid. This replaces the old system of annual reporting (Form P35) and provides Revenue with up-to-date income data. The primary operational objective of this system is to ensure that the correct amount of tax is deducted at source, thereby reducing year-end underpayments and overpayments. According to the passage, what is the primary operational benefit of real-time PAYE reporting?

It completely eliminates the requirement for employers to maintain payroll records. It provides real-time income data that minimizes tax discrepancies at the end of the year. It shifts the legal responsibility for calculating tax deductions entirely from the employer to Revenue. It allows employees to self-assess their income tax liability on a monthly basis.

Correct Answer:

It provides real-time income data that minimizes tax discrepancies at the end of the year.
