Revenue Payroll Notifications - Transition to the new tax year

RPNs for 2024 will be available in early December 2023, however 2024 RPNs will not be updated in real time until 2024
If an employee’s payment date is 2024, employers must use the 2024 RPN
A 2023 RPN cannot be used in 2024 (Income Tax Regulations 2018)
Employers are advised not to make payroll submissions with a 2024 pay date until a 2024 RPN is available (otherwise emergency tax will apply)
2023 RPNs will no longer be available for retrieval after 31st December 2023.
Where payroll remains outstanding for 2023, employers in this instance will need to use the most recently retrieved RPN to process their employees' payroll.
