Ireland Monthly Return Reconciliation

In the Ireland Monthly Return Reconciliation subtab in the Post Commit Management tab of Payroll, you can view the details about the payroll submissions made to Revenue and the National Automatic Enrolment Retirement Savings Authority (NAERSA). This subtab can be helpful as it means that you don’t have to log in to Revenue Online Service (ROS) to verify the submissions were successful.

The Ireland Monthly Return Reconciliation subtab lists legal entities and their pay runs organized by tax month. You can select only one legal entity at a time from the list. Clicking on the legal entity’s name in the Legal Entity column opens a dialog box that shows you the pay groups linked to that legal entity, along with pay period details for the selected tax month.

Clicking the arrow in the top-right corner of the screen opens the Tax Month Preview slide-out panel. This panel shows the payroll submissions and auto-enrolment contributions made in the tax month period.

Payroll Submissions to Revenue

You can view your payroll submissions to Revenue in the Ireland Monthly Return Reconciliation subtab.

After selecting a legal entity, click Retrieve to get the latest information from Revenue. Dayforce contacts ROS and retrieves the latest data. The Updated on column for the selected legal entity is updated with the retrieval date.

The Tax Month Preview slide-out panel shows the submission details in the Returns Reconciliation tab and the Submission Issues tab.

Tax Month Preview slide-out panel with the submission details highlighted.

In the Returns Reconciliation tab, pay runs included in the submission are shown as hyperlinks under the Submissions heading in the Name column. Expanding a pay run hyperlink shows its submission details (PAYE, USC, PRSI, and LPT).

Clicking a pay run hyperlink opens a new tab with the name of the pay run as its header. The tab shows the employee submission data. You can expand each employee to view their specific details.

The Submission Issues tab shows any issues encountered, if applicable. For example, if any data is rejected by ROS, it’s listed here.

Auto-enrolment Contributions to NAERSA

When you select a legal entity from the list, the Tax Month Preview slide-out panel shows details about the legal entity, their auto-enrolment contributions. This information is available in the Auto Enrolment and Auto Enrolment Issues tabs.

  • The Auto Enrolment tab lists all contribution file submissions made to NAERSA in the tax month period. Each column represents the information sent in each file.
  • The Auto Enrolment Issues tab shows any errors or warnings for each individual record that NAERSA had found in the submission file. For example, when the submitted file includes employees whose net pay wasn’t sufficient to cover their contribution amount, NAERSA returns a warning associated with those specific employees. You can review the warnings and their descriptions in this tab.
