Personal Division

Anne Gunnell

​​“Welcome to the Personal Division Branch. My name is Anne Gunnell, Chair of the Personal Division Branch. 

I am the Director of Tax Policy & Representations at the Irish Tax Institute. Revenue’s focus on PAYE taxpayers has increased over recent years. 

The introduction of PAYE modernisation and Revenue’s access to a range of third-party information has allowed Revenue to quickly identify PAYE taxpayers with potential tax compliance issues. 

PAYE modernisation was also pivotal to the implementation of the COVID-19 related wage subsidy schemes. At the same time, Revenue has been enhancing its online services to encourage PAYE tax agents and taxpayers to use ROS and MyAccount. 

The Branch provides a useful forum for keeping abreast of the latest developments.”
