Once completed, you will receive a &#8216;Notice of Registration&#8217; verifying your registration.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"2-submit-your-tax-return-to-revenue-before-31-october-the-following-year\">2. Submit Your Tax Return to Revenue before 31 October the following year<\/h3>\n<p>The deadline will be extended to mid-November if you file online. You must also pay your tax bill before the deadline. The type of return you need to file \u2013 Form 11 or Form 12 will be dictated by the type of income and the amount of additional earnings you may have.
